Mount Paran Christian School headed “To the Movies” for the 2022 Homecoming Spirit Week. Each day featured daily dress-up themes and activities, culminating with an all-school parade on Friday afternoon. Highlights of the parade included Shelton, the Eagle mascot; the school’s Soaring Eagle Marching Band and color guard; the cheer squad and football team; various fall sports teams; homecoming court representatives; and the movies-themed high school parade floats.
Following the parade, middle and high school students participated in a pep rally to pump up the crowd for the Friday night football game. During the “Black-Out” pre-game tailgate and Alumni Association homecoming dinner, both current MPCS families and alumni came to campus for a time of fellowship before the MPC football team took to the field against Social Circle. Notably, 30 of the 35 graduating classes were represented at the alumni dinner.
During halftime of the game, the MPCS Alumni Association presented its annual Distinguished Alumnus of the Year award to Allan Malloy ‘82. The high school homecoming court was presented, and senior Sophie Kate Chambley was chosen by her peers as this year’s homecoming queen.
As part of the week’s festivities, MPCS students from preschool through high school contributed non-perishable food items to benefit MUST Ministries as part of the school’s annual fall food drive. Students in middle and high school competed to see which grade would collect the most food to benefit neighbors in need. In all, more than 4 tons of food was collected to benefit ministry partner MUST Ministries’ food pantry.
