Hoco Festivities: Who Attends Homecoming?

Family, friends, alumni, and students can all attend various homecoming events. Since some schools may set specific rules for who can attend high school homecoming festivities, it’s important to check with your homecoming committee before inviting guests to any event. Usually, all students are welcomed and even encouraged to attend the fun-filled activities as a show of support and camaraderie for the high school. In-school events, like pep rallies, spirit week, and the hoco dance, are often limited to students and faculty. Alumni, family, and friends from other schools are often welcome to attend special sporting events or parades held outside of school. So celebrate with everyone at the homecoming parade, cheer on your school’s football team under the stadium lights, and then put on your homecoming party dress and have a great time with your classmates at the dance.
