Houghton Lake High School celebrated a Harry Potter-themed Homecoming filled with school spirit, friendship, and memories worth saving in a Pensieve.
Our Student Senate worked its own kind of wizardry, bringing the theme to life through creativity, teamwork, and hard work. Their efforts created an amazing experience and gave our students a memorable week together.
The Homecoming parade and pep assembly brought the excitement of the Quidditch World Cup to Houghton Lake! Students, staff, and community members filled the parade route and assembly with cheers, setting the stage for a thrilling Friday night.
Our football team kept that momentum going, defeating Lake City 18–6. With a performance worthy of cheers from the Quidditch stands, the Bobcats gave the Homecoming crowd another reason to celebrate.
While the Goblet of Fire selected Hogwarts’ champions, our Bobcats made their own choices for the spotlight! Congratulations to Homecoming King Collin Hamp and Homecoming Queen Myla Dankert, who were selected by their classmates for this year’s royal honors.
A special thank-you goes to Sarah Armstrong for the time, dedication, and care she put into making Homecoming a success. We also appreciate the community members who contributed to the event’s decorations, helping transform the space into a setting worthy of a Hogwarts celebration.
Thank you, too, to all the staff members who chaperoned the dance! Like Fluffy, Hogwarts’ watchful three-headed guardian, they kept an eye on the festivities and helped make the evening safe and fun—with considerably friendlier greetings at the door!
With over 85% of our ninth- through twelfth-grade students attending the dance, the turnout was worthy of the House Cup. Whatever Hogwarts house they might choose, our students came together proudly as Bobcats.
Thank you to our students, staff, families, and community for making this Homecoming one for the storybooks. Accio, Bobcat pride!
