Pella Christian High School is celebrating homecoming this week.

The tradition of welcoming back alumni in the winter continues, which was established long before the beginning of the Eagles football team–when high school homecoming events are typically held.

This year’s nominations for homecoming king and queen are Sophie Howerzyl, Erica Van Soelen, Makenna Van Dyke, Mara Juffer, Kandace Hofman, Alex Huisman, Sam Brouwer, Hayden Vroom, Ryan Van Gilst, and Brenden Six.

Pella Christian will celebrate homecoming Friday afternoon with traditional class competitions, followed by the king’s and queen’s announcement, and ending with basketball games against Grinnell, which can be heard live via the KRLS2 stream at KNIAKRLS.com. Pella Christian High School alumni are invited for refreshments during those games from 6 to 8 p.m. in the high school conference room.
