TCS Homecoming Week 2024
By Samantha DePriest
Traditions are part of our culture here at TCS and help us connect with our roots and forge a sense of belonging. From the littlest lions to our senior class, each year we celebrate the week of homecoming together. The excitement builds throughout the week with annual hallway decorating of the high school by our student council representatives, a parade and pep rally, and school wide daily dress up themes. Friday night is saved for the big homecoming football game, court presentation, and alumni event Lastly, the homecoming dance on Saturday evening is hosted in our high school and always a special night to remember.

Our annual Homecoming parade returned to Leroy Johnson Park in Senoia and was hosted on Monday, September 9th. Blessed with beautiful sunshine and cool temperatures, our Lion nation filled the spacious park with purple, black, and white while praise music filled the air. Our little lion cheerleaders kicked off the parade followed by our honored guest Grand Marshall Mr. Norm Tapley, who serves as our CFO, and his wife Mrs. Rita. TCS Head of School Dr. Anthony and his family followed behind in a golf cart throwing candy to the crowd that lined the street. Our talented and growing group of Marching Lions helped to get us all in the spirit with their drum line and color guard. Our Lower and Upper Elementary School lions marched with their parents and teachers along with a sea of our fall athletics teams and coaches. High School student council floats were brightly decorated featuring our Fast food Freshman, SEC Sophomores, Jammin’ Juniors, and Toy Story Seniors. Our 2024 Homecoming court representatives waved to the crowd in decorated convertibles and jeeps. Immediately following the parade, a pep rally was held with word from Varsity Football Coach Kenny Dallas, Head of School Dr. Anthony, cheers by our Varsity Cheerleading squad, and a wonderful time of worship with our TCS High School Praise Band.
Throughout the week, students and staff were encouraged to dress up including daily themes ‘Merica Monday, City vs Country, Night in vs Night out, Disney day, and All Out Spirit Day. What a joy it was to see all of the creativity and collaboration in our school community.
