THE ALUMNI ARE CELEBRATING
The
Alumni are former students who have graduated since the founding of Mission
High School. We celebrate them with Homecoming; every alumni is invited to the
post homecoming events like the homecoming parade or the bonfires. I
interviewed a few teachers about the Alumni and I got some of my information
from Mr. Fleming, Mr. Martin, and Mrs. Doll. They sadly did not know when the
first Alumni graduated but I found out that the school was built 1954. They
told me that the Alumni are celebrated since we are a small community and offer
a great education; in my opinion the best you can get in our proximity!
Alumni also love the school and Mission bulldogs
in general. We celebrated the Alumni before with Homecoming, but there were no
posters or skits, it just was smaller and in town circles. The people I asked
love our Alumni and homecoming tradition since you can meet your old school
friends. It shows that all the Alumni still have their school spirit and pretty
much will not lose it.
I’m happy that this exists, it bonds people
immensely but is also very stressful. I found out that we had the Homecoming
parade and, also, the Homecoming King and Queen. They got to ride on cars too,
like we still do today. Alumni are just a great thing to celebrate and should continue
to be honored for many years.
