Brianna Cherry, News Managing Editor • September 30, 2025

Homecoming week is here, and the excitement is building! Students will cap off the week of spirit days and school pride with three big events this weekend.

The celebration kicks off on Friday, October 3, with the Pep Rally after the 7th period, where students will gather to cheer on fall sports teams, enjoy performances, and get ready for the big game.

That night, the Varsity Football team will face Einstein High School at 6:30 p.m. under the stadium lights. Fans are encouraged to wear their school colors and pack the stands to show their support.

The festivities continue on Saturday, October 4, with the long-awaited Homecoming Dance from 7:00–10:00 p.m. Tickets are available all week for purchase either online through GoFan ($22) or in the Mixing Bowl during lunch ($20).

With school spirit, football, and dancing all packed into one weekend, this year’s Homecoming promises to be an unforgettable celebration for The Mill.
