Homecoming El Camino High School is known for its homecoming traditions. A three-month long process beginning with the announcement of the theme, each class works from the summer to late-September to create decorations to cover the school, lunch-time skit and dance and rally dance. Homecoming week is held either late-September or early-October and runs from Monday through Thursday with each class having its respective day all culminating on Friday with a rally, football game and dance. El Camino Homecoming is known for the way each class goes all out and devotes much of its attention toward decorating the entire school and lunch-time skit and dance. Homecoming has become controversial over the years for its unofficial allnighter traditions which have run into altercations with the law. Recent themes have been "dreams", "the Beatles", "old Hollywood films", "Pixar" and "Star Wars".

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
