The homecoming dance is highly anticipated, with the football game being one of the most attended. This year Austin High’s Homecoming will be Masquerade themed, and many students are preparing for this sudo holiday. This year’s homecoming court nominees are Neil Sun, Weston Rhoden, Bowman Garner, and Oliver Jordan for freshman; Ella Bunger, Burker Murril, Atalie Quintanilla, and Lola Romero for sophomores; Kai Brown, Clementine Kennedy, Estrella Perez, John Henry Castillo for juniors; and Dean Strong, 

Evelyn De La Reza, Maddox Menzie, and Xiana Vasquez for seniors. 

This year’s homecoming festivities consist of a football game against Akins, the football team is hoping to secure their second win of the season. A pep rally Friday during Fit where the  announcement of the homecoming court for Freshman, Sophomores, and Junior will be held, but the seniors will be announced during the football halftime show. If you want to vote for homecoming court the link was sent out on Naviance and the form will close Thursday night  at midnight. 

The homecoming dance will be Saturday from 7 pm to 10:30 pm. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online or at the door. To fit the masquerade theme the student council has planned to decorate the large gym with streamers and balloons and will be supplying masquerade masks but students are welcome to bring their own. Students will be expected to wear formal attire, collared shirts and dress pants, a nice dress or something similar, to the dance. If you would like to help set up the dance or be involved in similar events then you can join Student Council by attending a meeting in room 271 during lunch on Wednesdays.
