The annual Homecoming Rally was held Thursday in the gym. The rally included the presentation of the Homecoming Court, a slam poem from Peer Resource, the Varsity Cheer routine, and the class skit contest, in which each class prepared a skit in accordance to their Homecoming theme. Skits were open to any members of each class that wished to participate.
