Homecoming offers students an opportunity to express themselves and represent Arcata High. Whether they participate in dress-up days, build floats, go to the football game, or bust it down on the dance floor, the week is meant to be fun. This year, we have 39 nominees from 20 clubs representing Arcata High.
Each club nominated two seniors of any gender to represent them in the parade and at halftime of the game against Ferndale.
A superhero-inspired-themed homecoming spurred many opinions. Students from the AHS leadership class say the theme was created at random.
“I came up with the theme as a joke,” Lennon Gieder, Arcata High senior, said. “It just kind of stuck.”
Senior Bella Campbell said it was between a superhero or Greek mythology theme.
“We ultimately decided on superheroes because it’s kind of fire and inclusive,” she said, “and people can take the theme into their interpretation and just have some fun with it.”
