Homecoming 2022 was held on September 9th, 2022. For Spirit Week, class officers were in charge of making homecoming banners for each grade. The banners were hung up in the East Gym on Tuesday morning. Students voted on the banner they liked the best.  It was announced at the Pep Rally on Friday that the sophomore class won the banner competition. The Homecoming Spirit Week started off with Tuesday’s theme “Country vs Country Club.” Wednesday’s theme was “Adam Sandler day.” Thursday’s theme was to bring “anything but a backpack.” Friday’s theme was wear your “Warrior” gear. Each day students and staff alike dressed for each theme.

The Homecoming Court included; Niurka Castro, Jenny Valora, Natalie Yrkoski, Piper Lefdal, Kathryn Tzunux, Michael Arriaza, Gavin Bywater, Josue Fuentes, Colin Gibbons, and Ben Lefdal.
