HOMECOMING

Homecoming is hands-down our most spirited event of the year. With all of our basketball teams playing on the same day, our community comes together—dressed in their red, white, and black—to cheer on our fellow Colts. Faces get painted, half-time games are played, and music keeps the energy flowing.
