Homecoming 2012

Always highly anticipated by the Crusader Nation is Dade Christian School’s Homecoming week held this year from November 1 – 5 at the north Miami-Dade campus located at 6601 N.W. 167 Street. Homecoming Week, which drew 1,800 people, culminated on Friday night at the Dade Christian – Barrington Academy football game that was won by the Crusaders, 47-6 – a fitting conclusion to a wonderful week of friendship and excitement.  DCS welcomed home all of the alumni at this game at their special Alumni Tent that included free crepes and beverages for everyone attending.

“Homecoming Week is always a great way for all of the alumni to reunite with fellow classmates and reminisce about the awesome times we had at Dade Christian School,” said Jennifer Martinez, DCS Class of 2003. “It’s an exciting week not only for alumni but current students, faculty and friends.”

This year’s Homecoming Week theme was “Crusaders Around the World” in which each school grade represented a continent of the world. They dressed up each day according to their designated continent and their lip syncs and booths were designed accordingly as well. Students and teachers also competed in field events such as tug-o-war and dizzy bat relay throughout the week. Each school grade also served cuisine that coresponded with their assigned continent, for example  Teriyaki sliders was served at the Asian booth and snow cones at the Antarctica booth. There were also rides for kids during Homecoming Week from bounce houses to carnival games.

“I really believe our Homecoming Week celebrations outdo any other school and when it comes to a little competition between grades,” said school senior Justin Martinez. “Even though the students get competitive, when the week is over everyone is even closer in terms of friendship and the Crusader spirit is multiplied.”

Added Craig Konchak, Dade Christian’s Director of Development: “Every year Homecoming Week is a significant success, and the 2012 version was no exception. It was planned perfectly, down to every detail. The students, faculty and sponsors did an amazing job when it came to coordinating every event. Dade Christian's Homecoming is truly one of a kind!”
