Today's Homecoming 2025 Lions Spirit Day theme was "Coachella" and there were few of our McCord students and staff who wore their best California attire.
Today's Homecoming Lion Spirit Day dress-up theme was "White Lies." The goal was for everyone to wear white and maybe include a fun, little white lie. Our students definitely had some fun with it.
Tuesday was "BBQ Dads & Soccer Mom" dress up day for Homecoming 2025 and we think the BBQ dads ruled the hallways.
