This past weekend, Johnston Senior High School held their 54th annual Homecoming.
The Homecoming events start the Monday before with the first day of spirit week at school. This year, the JHS Student Council chose Pattern Day, Pirate Day, Western Day, First Responder Day, and Blue and White Day, which is held on the Friday of spirit week every year.
On Friday, JHS held their first outdoor Pep Rally. This was a great success, allowing the students to still have the experience of a Pep Rally despite the necessary changes.
On Friday night, each class held their overnighters to finish building their floats.
On Saturday morning, the floats arrived at 8:30 a.m. to be judged at 9 a.m. The parade started at 10 a.m. going down Atwood Avenue, then turning onto Hartford Avenue, and traveling up Memorial Drive back to the school.
The floats then stayed until halftime of the football game, which started at 1 p.m. against Pilgrim High School.
At halftime, our Homecoming King and Queen were announced.
The winners were Queen, Glorianna Crichlow and King, Jose Gonzalez.
To end the event-filled week, we held the Homecoming dance outside on the athletic field. The dance was DJ’d by JHS senior Joey Accairdo.
The Student Council provided drinks and snacks for the students to enjoy. The dance was a great success and allowed as many students as possible to attend and get the Homecoming Dance experience.
Also, the float winners were announced at the end of the dance with the Juniors placing first, followed by the Sophomores, Seniors and Freshmen.
The JHS Student Council would like to thank all the faculty, staff and members of the community who volunteered their time to help make all of our recent events a success. Go Panthers!
