Student Success Statement

“Right is Right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it.”

~William Penn

This quote means that even if something seems right because everyone does it, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. Also, even if people are against something they don’t want, doesn’t mean we have to go with the flow. For example, if 99% of the school is against the school uniform policy, being against it too doesn’t make it the right choice. Therefore, doing the wrong choices people make, will never turn it into the right thing to do.

Student Success Statement

“Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it often.”

~Peter Vidmar

Our temptations make us forget how much we really want to achieve our goals. This quote means that we shouldn’t forget about what we really want , our desire for the future, for what we crave right now. even if it takes a lot of work, we should keep trying for what’s more important than for what is just temporary.

School Homecoming

What is School Homecoming?

• Homecoming is a time to celebrate the school you’re attending. And, after you’ve graduated, it’s a time to go back (or “come home”) to your town and the campus, see old friends, and reminisce about your school days. Homecoming usually centers around a football game, but schools have been known to have homecoming basketball, soccer or even hockey games. It’s an annual tradition for most American high schools (and some colleges and universities, too!) There are a ton of activities that center around homecoming, and they vary from school to school. The celebrations generally start within the school on Monday and last all the way through the weekend when the alumni show up.

History of Homecoming

• The 1911 Kansas vs. Missouri football game is one of several claimed to be the first college football homecoming game. The tradition of Homecoming has its origin in alumni football games held at colleges and universities since the 19th century.

Why Do We Celebrate Homecoming In Schools?

• A pep rally usually occurs on the day of the big homecoming game. A dance follows the homecoming game, and a homecoming queen and sometimes king are crowned either during this time or at halftime of the game. All of these encourage students and alumni to have school spirit and pride. Also, it’s fun for the students in these Schools.

Relative Activities

• Prom
• Class Reunion
• Any Special games/meetings of any Sport

Why is it called Homecoming game?

• Homecoming is an annual tradition in the United States. People, towns, high schools, and colleges come together, usually in late September or early October, to welcome back alumni and former residents.

Homecoming Etiquette

• High School Homecoming Etiquette is homecoming, which takes place every fall, and is a very important high school event. The tradition, now followed by most schools and states, was born. Most homecoming dances are semi-formal, although each school will specify its own dress code.

Reflection

• I think that Homecoming and all those Special events our School does, are a very great idea. This makes us feel more comfortable with our school and with ourselves. It can also make us forget about the stress and problems for a while, but it is really worth to go and have fun, also to support our school.

Student Success Statement

“A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life.”
~Coach K

This quote means that it is better to be seen as someone who always tries even when they fail, than to be the most richest and prosperous human but be the worst example of the world and everyone seeing you as an insolent person. They are a lot of examples for this quote and its meaning, but the main reason for this quote is to show us not to be narcissistic in any moment and be more proactive to be a good set of example in the world and get a “good name.”

Student Success Statement

“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.”

~Proverbs 22:1

How a person sees you is apparently more important than your happiness. This quote is saying that being that ‘good’ ‘special’ person can make people felicity. While people are grateful to hear your name, they are also grateful to see you. Being that different special person makes others happy and can make a good difference in your life and in others.
