Ukiah High’s Homecoming dance on Saturday, October 12, 2024, was nothing short of electric. The cafeteria was packed with Wildcats ready to let loose, and the energy was off the charts. Between the flashing lights and the beats blasting from DJ Jada Sturges, who spun the hottest tracks, the vibe was unreal. Students screamed their favorite lyrics and danced like there was no tomorrow, filling the room with laughter and excitement.
One of the night’s wildest moments? When two daring students decided to crowd surf! The crowd went crazy, cheering them on—until they were told to get down (total buzzkill, but still a major highlight). The party hit its peak when Travis Scott’s “FE!N” dropped, sending the whole room into a frenzy, with everyone shouting the lyrics and turning the cafeteria into a concert scene.
The night was unforgettable, especially for the seniors in the Class of 2025, who made some of their last Homecoming memories. Shoutout to Leadership, Class Advisors, and Student Council for throwing down an epic event that students will be talking about for ages.
And if you missed the Homecoming game—here’s the tea: the Seniors took home the Spirit Bell (again!), with the Sophomores close behind, only 25 points away. The Juniors snagged third, and the Freshmen rounded it out in fourth place. Better luck next year, Freshies!
