Do all MCPS high schools have homecoming dances?

[Anonymous]

I am hearing that some do and some do not. Do principals decide this?

Don't most?

PTSAs decide it. At our HS, dance attendance dropped bc kids were spending their time on dinners and trips downtown so now they offer a Friday night festival.

Wootton does not do a dance at all. They do nothing for homecoming and it's embarrassing. I think the student association is just a bunch of boring brainiacs that want it on their college resume but don't care to do anything for the school.

Thanks for volunteering to get one started by assisting your kid who can work with the Student Association if they are already not in the Association to have a dance this year. Or are parents going to oppose a dance!!?

My oldest is a freshman at Wootton and just found out yesterday they don't do a dance or even a homecoming event at the football game. This was already decided yearly so I don't think anyone can jump in and host a dance. They do a glow in the dark event in the gym after the game, which sounds like something a middle school would do.

All pretty much do, it's a bigger deal at some schools.

I don't know any schools that don't have homecoming. It's such a big thing but I hate the signs and asking out to homecoming crap. It's over the top

This sounds like Whitman. A Friday night carnival like event after the game but no dance
