FHS celebrated Homecoming Week September 11-15, ending in a parade, game, and spectacular halftime show.
At our high school Fortuna High there is a very special week, one that celebrates competition, class pride, and most importantly togetherness throughout the school. Homecoming has lots of events including the Thursday Night game, lip sync, the traditional friday night football game against McKinleyville, which ended in a win for Fortuna, and the half time of the show includes the crowning of homecoming royalty, queen Haley Benbow and king Bailey Foley and also the show of the parades covered in christmas lights creating a beautiful display to end a great week.
Senior class advisor, Adam Pinkerton, said “while building these floats, ideas come in throughout the week and on average it takes 3-4 days” Which may not seem that long but with the limited amount of time, the class float rules stating “Floats must be built in the bus barns on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of Homecoming week” After the week of work and effort, the judging ended in Senior float getting first, Freshmen second, Junior’s third and Sophomores 4th.
