After skipping it my Junior year, a senior told me “You have to go your senior year, just so you can have that memory and leave highschool with no regret.” But when the time came around, the event was pushed back to November. But when November came around, it was pushed to later in the year.

Fortunately, the school still plans to hold this crucial event but a date has not been determined. In anticipation of the event, the Homecoming King and Queen were selected and them being Gavin March and Julie Ham. The Homecoming royalty, however, can hold their excitement for the event

“I’m happy that it was pushed back, ”said Julie Ham, 12. “It was nowhere close to safe in November and if they held it anyway, I wouldn’t have gone for my families safety.” And this concern is stressed by the school administration as well. The students and teachers safety comes first before anything else, and with advancements of the vaccine, the date may be closer than we think.

Of course, the event and school in general will never be the same. There will be a lot more restrictions and everybody won’t be able to mob together on the dance floor as it has been for so many years. However, King Gavin, 12, is still happy that we have the opportunity to have the event. “Especially with the numbers rising and the hope of a vaccine, pushing it to later in the year helps ensure that not only will it be more safe,” he said. “but maybe even closer to the kind of event that it’s been in years past.”
