Patterson High School had its first homecoming dance in years on Saturday, October 15th. This event has been the talk of the school. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors were all in attendance. The dress code was formal and students showed off their best dresses and suits as they danced to the beats of songs like “Donk” (Soulja Boy) and “1 + 1” (Beyonce’). A wonderful DJ kept the music pumping late into the night. For those who worked up an appetite with their dance moves, chips and other refreshments were available. Students and chaperons struck their best poses as Ms. King took their pictures.

Overall, Mr. Benton is doing a wonderful job listening to students’ opinions and trying to make everything possible. The homecoming dance is something that a lot of students wanted. Those who were there will always remember it.
