School Homecoming

Homecoming is a tradition of welcoming back former students and celebrating a school’s existence. It is a tradition in many high-schools and colleges. Homecoming had its birthplace in Missouri at the university. The university has a rivalry with Kansas University. They decided to lighten up the rivalry with celebration and parades in which alumni were invited to “come home” to Mizzou. This is homecoming began and stayed.  We celebrate homecoming because former student or even students that already graduated high school come back to homecoming to celebrate, see their old friends, and remember the memories. Something related to homecoming is probably prom. A football game usually occurs a day before the homecoming dance which is why it is called the homecoming game. Some school homecomings involve flowers, dress, bill. I think homecoming is a nice way to welcome alumni to their school and have a great time with their friends.
