Hagerty High School’s Inaugural Homecoming Was a Great Success!
Congratulations go to all of our students for their outstanding participation in all of the events.
Each day was designated a special ‘dress-up’ day and our students and staff
showed their school spirit with fantastic participation.
'Flick on the Fifty’ on Monday night was a relaxing and enjoyable time for our
students to socialize and enjoy each other’s company. ‘Leader of the Pack’ on Wednesday night was an action packed showcase for our
guys to strut their stuff and strut they did! ‘Powder Puff’ between the Junior and Senior girls was a hotly contested but
refreshingly sportsmanlike event in which our senior class came out ahead in the score.
The class room door decorations were especially creative. The Homecoming Parade was spectacular with students from Carillon Elementary,
people from the community, and Hagerty students lining the street to see the floats and entries!
Of course the game and halftime ceremonies crowning the King and Queen were spectacular.
The week culminated with the Homecoming Dance with a huge crowd that enjoyed the music and fun.
Many thanks go to Ms. Miller, our SGA sponsor, and the SGA students who worked tirelessly to make the week a great success, the class officers and sponsors who pitched
in and helped, our staff who modeled school spirit, our many parents who volunteered, the city commissioners and other dignitaries who participated in the parade and, most of
all, our outstanding student body for their awesome participation!
