Flagler Palm Coast High School held its Homecoming ceremonies this past week, with dress-up days, "insanity games" featuring silliness and lots of shaving cream, a pep rally, and the Homecoming football game on Sept. 24.
This year's theme had the school decorated as the FPC Space Station, and students in the school's Student Government Association worked since August to prepare decorations and events, said FPC SGA Advisor and Activities Director Evana Fretterd.
There are about 100 students in the SGA.
"We make everything," Fretterd said. "They put in a lot of hours, and they do it all so that their student body can have the experience and create memories amongst their friends. And then we come back the next day after everything, to clean and to set up the school for the next day."
Pep rally performances included the school's cheer team, dance team, starlets and band.
This year's homecoming court queen and king — Annie Buchanan and Schmidt Joseph — were crowned during halftime at the football game by the 2019-2020 homecoming queen, Trinity Gallo.
Homecoming was a bit different this year as the SGA took precautions due to COVID-19, placing the dance floor outside, opening up more areas of the school for activities and holding the pep rally outside so that students could more easily social distance.
"We adapted our usual to be able to keep the kids safe," Fretterd said.
Fretterd called the SGA members servant leaders.
"They’re building culture and climate," she said.
