AHS Homecoming 2021 is history. Friday was a good day in Allen despite a heartbreaking loss to the Liberty Tigers.

The first grade chose Toy Story for their theme; second grade was Hocus Pocus; third graders had Alice in Wonderland; fourth grade had Dumbo flying around the big top; and fifth grade took a magic carpet ride with Aladdin. The middle, junior and high school students were also creative and themes were Monsters, Inc. for the sixth grade; Wreck-It Ralph for the seventh; Shrek was the eighth grade theme; the freshman chose Avengers: Endgame; sophomores had 101 Dalmatians; the juniors accompanied Alice in Wonderland; and the seniors were Up with balloons ready to carry their house away.

Congratulations to the float winners. In the elementary, first place honors went to the 5 ^th grade’s Aladdin, chosen as second was the 3 rd grade’s Alice in Wonderland, and Toy Story by the 1 st grade earned third place. In the upper grades, first place went to the seniors with Up, Alice in Wonderland took second place for the juniors, and the 6 th grade Monsters, Inc. was named third.
