Homecoming Spirit Week

This school year’s 2026 Homecoming Dance is on Saturday, October 10th, and the theme is “Viva Las Vegas.” Even if you're not coming to either the Homecoming Football game or the dance, you were able to still show school pride this week. We had our Homecoming Spirit Week on October 5th through October 9th, where there were many creative themes to participate in each day. 

On Monday, the theme was “Hard Rock,” where students would dress up like rock-stars, wear merchandise, or band t-shirts from their favorite musicians. On Tuesday, the theme was “Tropicana” style. Students would dress up in a tropical islander attire that most commonly had Hawaiian button-ups, hula girl skirts and often partnered with plumeria flower accessories. Next up on Wednesday was “Best Western.” The students dressed in cowboy attire with cowboy boots, hats, boot-cut jeans, or farm-animal print clothing. Thursday’s theme was “Caesars Palace” and the students dressed up like the Romans and togas with gold accessories, white loose clothing, and head wreaths. Last but not least, the final theme on Friday was the “Blue Man Group.” Some students wore blue clothing head to toe, and others went all out and painted themselves blue!

If you participate in dressing up, you have the opportunity to be rewarded with “Minga points” or an invitation to be on the floor of the Homecoming assembly. Most of the students were given around 5-10 Minga points for engaging in this Spirit Week.

Additionally, students who participated throughout the entire week were invited to sit on the floor level of our gym during the Homecoming Assembly. The people on the floor sat in a designated spot in a chair, being able to represent Mayfair High School for showing their school spirit through their apparel throughout the week.

Reflecting on this Spirit Week, the occasion was effective as to getting students involved. It was able to bring high school students to feel excited for the Homecoming Game on Friday and the Homecoming Dance on Saturday. Not only does this show students are thrilled about Homecoming season, but that they also genuinely enjoy participating in school activities by letting their imagination and creativity run wild with these dress-up days. As the school year goes on, we can hope for more exciting weeks like this one.
