Every year for homecoming week, leadership students engage in the annual tradition of decorating all four stairwells in the main building. Each one is decorated by students from each grade in a competition to see which grade can represent their homecoming theme the best.
This year, the overall homecoming theme is The Great Unknown. Each grade has a theme that fits with the main theme.
Freshmen: Buried Beneath
Starting off with a strong effort are our freshmen, whose theme was all things underground. They used glittering confetti to represent the diamonds that can be mined from the ground. The spooky cobwebs and caution tape also contributed to the underground theme.

Overall Score: 7.8/10
Sophomores: Deep Sea
This year, the sophomores truly showcased their best efforts with decorations that were both creative and fitting with the theme. The addition of inflatable jellyfish and dolphins, along with colorful coral reef decorations, helped to create the illusion of actually being in the deep sea while walking through the hallway.

Juniors: Outer Space
The juniors went out of this world with their decorations, hanging miniature planets against a backdrop of a starry galaxy. The space theme is represented by glow-in-the-dark stars and an image of the Milky Way projected onto the ceiling.

Seniors: Jungle
Per tradition, the seniors were tasked with decorating the giant double stairwell located at the main building entrance, but they proved they had what it took to finish the job. Their jungle-themed stairwell features tropical foliage and a wall covered in handprints from the “Senior Animals.”

+0.1 for humor. The poster of Vice Principal Zargar was a genius addition.
Overall Score: 9.2/10
While all grades brought their A-game when decorating their stairwells, the one that stood out the most was the seniors. Great work to all who participated in keeping this annual tradition alive for another year!
