Loyola homecoming: ‘We don’t have a dance. We have a party.’

By Treveon Vaughn Staff Writer

Homecoming is probably a time that most high school students look forward to. Students at Loyola High School Detroit are no different.

Loyola High School Detroit engages in an entire week of activities that build up to the homecoming game. Even though not all students are athletes, students show their support for the football team and the school with a rally.

Another event that all students seem to be excited about at Loyola High School Detroit is the homecoming dance. Even though Loyola High School is an all boys high school, the difference cannot be seen at the dance. The students show up girlfriends and friends ready to enjoy the evening.

“I know that some schools dress up (formal) for the dance, but at Loyola we do it differently,” junior Zavian Harraday said. “We don’t have a dance. We have a party.

“We don’t dress up. We dress in high fashion clothes like we are trying to prove a point.”

Junior Blaine Woodland was also looking forward to the dance. He attended last year’s homecoming dance.

“Last year’s party was fun,” Woodland said.

Loyola High School Detroit students promote the dance each year by inviting a special guest to perform. Last year, rapper Peazzy performed.
