Homecoming season has returned, bringing excitement and school spirit back into the Pueblo County High School halls. Students prepare for a week filled with a Spirit Week, an assembly, and, of course, the anticipated traditional football game.  There are several fundraisers underway to keep funding for our sports teams and clubs.
This year’s Homecoming Dance also opens a door for freshman students to experience this school spirit and tradition for the first time.

“I expect my first Homecoming to be super fun since I'm going with my friends,” said Freshman Patience Castro.

The Homecoming Dance will be held on Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 8-11 p.m. in the PCHS Auxiliary Gym. Students have been preparing for Homecoming by shopping for nice outfits, purchasing tickets, and taking pictures to share memories.

“To prepare for Homecoming, I recommend spending Friday night preparing by having your hair rollers ready and trying on face masks.  Just spending the day in self-care,” said Freshman Alexis Vigil.

As Homecoming draws near, students and staff are eager to celebrate another week of school spirit. With all the planning and excitement leading up to Homecoming, this year promises to be a highlight of the fall semester.

Throughout the week, students will enjoy exciting activities, including the annual Powderpuff football game between junior and senior girls at 2:52 p.m. on Wednesday and the highly anticipated Homecoming football game on Friday night at 7:00 pm. In addition, students will participate in an enchanted-themed spirit week to show off their fairytale outfits and creative spirit, and end this fall semester. Monday is Pajama Day, Tuesday is Twin Day, Wednesday is Animal Day, and Thursday is Camo Day. Each day will give students chances to shine bright with school spirit before Homecoming Day. With a week full of spirit, tradition and excitement, PCHS students will be ready to make heartwarming memories.
