Jonathan Law hosted its 2023 Homecoming Dance on November 17. The dance took place from 7-10 p.m. in the new gym. Homecoming is a event where current and former students are welcome and takes place around Thanksgiving when college students are on break. Members of the freshman class also had a chance to attend their first Homecoming Dance. Advocate Staff Reporter Ava Grippo interviewed freshman Raz Walters about their first high school dance. 

Ava Grippo: What were your hopes as a freshman attending their first Homecoming? 

Raz Walters: I hoped it would be fun, but I was curious to see how many people would be there. I guess I hoped that it would be worth the $20.

AG: Do you think it lived up to its hype? 

RW: I think so. It was what I expected for a high school Homecoming. 

AG: What was your experience during Homecoming? 

RW: My experience was good. I liked the music and the stuff they had there, plus being with friends was fun. 

AG: What do you think was done well?

RW: I like how they chose “relevant” songs instead of the stuff played at every other dance ever and how there was a space away from the noise and lights that kids could also go to. 

AG: What do you think could be improved next year?

RW: I think maybe making those streamers in the doorway less in the way and make the places so the bags and stuff are more organized. Also, the food could be free or at least less expensive.
