Aligned dance date causes concern with students, community
or many years, homecoming week and the eventual main event, the homecoming dance at OH and surrounding high schools has been a time of excitement and fun for all. More importantly though for all the nearby schools, the homecoming dance was on different days. This October, students, parents, and teachers experienced a very unusual homecoming phenomenon as the dance for all schools was set to be the date of October 4th. The homecoming dance for OH, OE, and Yorkville High School, and others around have never been scheduled to be the same day in past years. So when the news hit that they were scheduled the same day many students were met with confusion and frustration as some were forced to choose between schools, whether that be for friends or dates they planned to go with. “I was confused because they’re on different days for a reason and lots of people go to both so I was upset about it.” said OE senior Sophia Rojas. “It was hard because either one of us had to miss our own senior hoco or we didn’t get to go together and go on our own but I didn’t want him to have to miss his because of me so I decided for us to go to OHS.”
