Alta burns the “A” in an annual homecoming tradition last school year
Homecoming Traditions Connect and Unite Hawks Through Time
Two years after covid restrictions, traditions continue uninterrupted!
Alta’s Student Government has planned an event packed homecoming week from Monday October 3 to Saturday the 8th.
Student Body President Zach Scheffner especially wants students to feel involved and become part of Alta traditions.
“I hope everyone is more connected and has a great experience,” Scheffner said. “These events are a huge part of high school and are what make it so memorable.”
Scheffner specifically hopes students will see how cool Alta is especially when it comes to traditions. Events come and go throughout the years, but Homecoming week is a traditional time where everyone can participate in memorable high school experiences that link years and decades together. “We hope everyone knows that Alta is a fun and homey place for Hawks,” he said. “We hope people know and learn what Alta is all about and what we stand for.
