Homecoming week is a fun time for students and community members each year.  This year’s Theme was “Mama Mia”  The week started off with the traditional Seniors vs Juniors friendly competitions where the boys play volleyball and the girls play football.  The seniors, thanks in part to some senior officiating, were victorious in both games.  All week the students showed their school spirit through a multitude of dress up days.  

On Monday, we hosted coronation.  This year’s homecoming court consisted of king candidates: LJ Dinehart, Logan Diers, Zach Murphy, Dylan Forcier Lane Tussing, Timmy Webber, and queen candidates: Kylah Zillmer, Cooper Eastlack, Abby Dahl, Kirsten Heber, Yami Blas, and Ava Fiecke.  

In the end, Lane Tussing was crowned prince, Yami Blas was crowned princess, Timmy Webber was crowned King, and Ava Fiecke was crowned Queen.  Joining them on the track are the Holy Trinity Homecoming King, “Eurius” Tran Bao Gia and the Holy Trinity Queen Elizabeth Mendiola

Tuesday we celebrated our home volleyball game vs Kimball which the Lakers went home victorious following a program wide sweep of the Cubs.  

Also on Tuesday, our Cross Country Runners competed at their meet in Watertown.  Last week, the team hosted its first home invitational in many years at the MS/HS campus.  Their postseason begins next week at Litchfield when they compete in the conference championship.  Good Luck Runners!

Friday was kicked off by the Leadership Council and Cheer Team greeting the students at the MS/HS with High Five Friday!  The positive energy giving behavior set the stage for an exciting day!  The middle school and high school pepfests were filled with fun activities that brought lots of smiles and laughs.  A huge crowd showed up to the tailgate and football game in the evening.  A new attendance record of over 1500 people were there as the Lakers took on Watertown-Mayer.  The home team came away victorious, 28-21, over the visiting Royals.  The game ended a stretch of over 30 years without the Lakers and Royals meeting on the gridiron.

The last event for the week was the HS Homecoming Dance where over 200 students came together to cap off the week’s festivities.  Homecoming 2025 will definitely be a week to remember.  Laker Spirit was in full swing, and it was a great way to celebrate the first 6 weeks of the school year.
