On December 1, VHS crowned Sarah File and Robby Trigg as the Homecoming Queen and King of 2006.

Homecoming week was November 27th through December 1st. Many students participated in a variety of activities and showed their school spirit in many ways.

Monday was Pajama Day, and Tuesday was Decades Day, with volleyball as the noon activity. Wednesday was Crazy Day, with scooter racing at lunchtime. Thursday was Twin Day, with a basketball relay for the noon time activity. Friday was Orange and Blue Day, and everyone’s favorite noon activity, Tug of War, in which the Sophomores pulled their way to victory. The Freshman took second place in Tug of War, followed by the Juniors and then Seniors.

The Homecoming skits and speeches were followed by the Lip Sync’s, which were the highlight of the day. With the help of their class sponsors, Mr. Palmer and Ms. Cochran, the Sophomores were able to win the lip sync, blowing away the competition. The Juniors came in second, Seniors third and Freshman came in last. The teachers secretly put together a lip sync of their own this year, which turned out to be a show stopper!

The totals for the week were Freshman with 17 points, Sophomores had 22, Juniors finished with 30 and the Seniors came out on top this year with 31 points.

Student Council coordinates all of the Homecoming activities, from the dress-up days to coronation. Mrs. Reichert, one of the Student Council sponsors said, "I have been here for 20 years and this has been the best Homecoming yet. The cooperation of the students and faculty made everything easy and fun!"

The Eagles kept the spirit of the night going by leading their team to a 54 point victory over the Shawnee Redskins.
