HALE – Monday, October 3, 2022, was the start of Homecoming week for Hale High School. This week was filled with spirit days, a pep assembly, parade, and a lot of fun. The spirit days were ‘Merica Monday, Gender Swap, Pink out, Theme Day, and Blue and White day. The theme for homecoming this year was arcade. Each class got to choose an arcade game to base their activities on. The senior class chose Pacman, the juniors chose Super Mario Bros, the sophomores chose Street Fighter, and the freshmen chose Asteroids. The seniors won the banner competition with their Pacman themed banner. The senior class also won the overall spirit award, which includes points from the winning banner, being dressed on spirit days, and winning games at the pep assembly. There was lots of competition between classes this year, and it was a very close win.
With homecoming comes homecoming court. The freshman representatives were Callie Hicks and Brayden Jaremba. The sophomore representatives were Aurora Brito and Patrick Leach. The junior representatives were Savannah Jones and Aidan Egresics. The senior representatives were Chloe Bernard and Dalton Jaremba, Bailey Hewitt and Jeffery Guoan, and Dalaney Kimmerer and Bryant Kesler. At the homecoming football ga,me against CHA, the returning queen, Abigail Parkinson crowned Bailey Hewitt as the 2022 homecoming queen. Zander Johnson, in place of his brother Jerrick Johnson who is currently serving in the Air Force, crowned Jeffery Guoan as the homecoming king. Homecoming week was a big success and was fun for all involved.
