Spirit Days, Homecoming Football Game, and More. A complete recap of every major event from eaglecrest's 2024 Homecoming

A Happily Ever Raptor Spirit Week

Students participate in spirit days to make their Homecoming Week a happily Ever Raptor!

By Kate Labra

With the fairytale hoco theme, students dress up for each spirit day to get excited for the annual dance at the end of the week! Students took “crazy hair day” to the literal sense with messy yet polished hair-dos, such as wigs, dyes, and unbrushed manes to celebrate the beginning of the week. The halls were filled with eye-catching headwear, which was abnormal too. In other news, Tuesday was pajama day, but was officially announced as athletic/comfy clothes, pajamas were at least what most raptors wore that day. Others additionally wore sportswear like jerseys and t-shirts publicizing certain sports teams, while everybody else styled active sets that were only to be worn while playing a competitive game. Wild, Wild West was where cowboy attire wasn’t frowned upon. This outdated trend seems to be coming back from the past, it's typical to see this style tend to be worn daily. Ending the spirited week, students were rocked raptor red at the homecoming game!

Hoco Kicks Off with Spirit Bus

To kick off Homecoming 2024, students piled into buses and traveled around to middle and elementary schools in the area to show Raptor spirit to future students.

On Monday to begin our Eaglcrest homecoming week, Eaglecrest students went around on the spirit bus to our feeder elementary and middle schools. Teachers, coaches, and club sponsors chose the raptors who best portray the raptor spirit to represent Eaglecrest on the spirit bus!
