High school spirit is set to reach fever pitch this fall across the Socorro Independent School District (SISD) as students and their families brace for a series of homecoming events. Each high school in the district is poised to host a week filled with festivities, which include thematic dress-up days, parades, games, and dances, a tradition that invites community participation and serves to bolster local camaraderie.
Starting September 8, America's High School kicks things off with its "Blazers Take Time Square" homecoming week. To truly encapsulate the vibrancy of New York, students can look forward to dressing up in outfits ranging from sharp Wall Street attire to over-the-top tacky tourist garb. The week reaches its pinnacle with a football game against Pebble Hills High School on September 12, and closes with a dance at the school, as detailed by Socorro ISD.
Next up, Eastlake High School's homecoming theme, "A HOCO LOST IN TIME," invites students to a journey through different eras from September 15 to 20. From jerseys to Y2K gear and dinosaur costumes, the school encourages a variety of timeless looks. A unique element to this school's celebration is a culminating firework show, a spectacle certain to anchor the memories of attendees. Prospective parade participants can register their floats through a link provided in the official SISD communication.
El Dorado High School plans to draw on the eternal battle of good versus evil with its "Empire of Legends: Heroes vs. Villains" theme running from September 2 to 6. Amongst the week's highlights, the school stages the Birth of the Aztec Sun, an enduring tradition. El Dorado High School stokes the homecoming flames early, with dress-up days beginning as soon as August 29, as outlined by Socorro ISD.
Lastly, Socorro High School will be marking its diamond jubilee with a "Decades, Socorro Turns 60" theme from September 8 to 13. The week will undoubtedly prove to be a nostalgic trip as students explore different eras through their outfits, culminating in a much-anticipated homecoming parade and game against Bel Air High School. As relayed by the Socorro ISD, tickets for the dance will increase in price on the day of the event, encouraging early purchase.
