Homecoming Festivities Consume Cordova Campus

Cordova High School has been flooded this week by doctors, lawyers, Disney characters, Beatniks, flower children, disco divas, and all around “maniacs.” Homecoming is officially underway for the Lancers and the spirit days have given the students several opportunities to dress up and show their school pride.

Students and staff alike have been working diligently every day into the evening on decorations and floats for each of the classes. The theme, titled “Happiest Place on Earth” is centered on Disney characters and movies including: Peter Pan, Aladdin, Toy Story, and Hercules.

Activities Director Josh Creeger describes the scene as an “organized chaos” with each class working separately on their respective floats but still cooperating with one another by sharing materials and supplies.

The entire campus has been buzzing this week with activities and projects that will culminate Friday night at the football game against Union Mine. At halftime of the game, the winners of the float contest will be announced along with the winning King and Queens candidates.

Homecoming fever has not been quarantined to just the high school. As part of their activities on Monday, a group of Cordova students held a mock rally at Mills Middle School. According to ASB President Danni Hirschler, “we do this so that we can give the seventh and eighth graders a preview of what they can look forward to at the next level.”

The finalized floats will be on display at Lancer Stadium next to the scoreboard prior to the game, so come out and take a look at the students’ hard work. Varsity starts at 7:30 but it should be a packed house so get there early to grab a good seat and cheer the Lancers to victory over the Diamondbacks!
