Class of 2023 -- Blog #3 THE TRADITION OF GCS HOMECOMING

There are many traditions at Goodpasture Christian School, and none is more loved that Homecoming.  Homecoming is a special time at Goodpasture.  It is a time when former students, teachers and families come back on campus to enjoy a great football game with our current students, teachers and families.  For most students and families, Goodpasture plays a central role in their lives throughout elementary, middle and high school.  The relationships cultivated during that time often last for a lifetime.  Everyone seems to enjoy coming back to the Goodpasture campus for an evening of fun, fellowship and football.

The ceremony of the Homecoming parade and pep rally sets the stage on Friday afternoon, for the exciting events of the evening.

 Of course, no Goodpasture Homecoming would be complete without high school floats and upper middle school cart floats.  Students, parents and teachers spend a great deal of time on creating these beautiful masterpieces, united by a common theme for the year.

The crowning of the beautiful, homecoming queen and her court is a special tradition of the evening, as well.  Finally, hopes are always high that the football team will end the evening with a huge victory over the rival team!
