Homecoming Proposals

Several Waukee Northwest High School students participated in homecoming proposals, prior to the annual dance on September 21st, to ask significant others and peers to homecoming. 

On September 21, 2024, Waukee Northwest High School students celebrated their annual homecoming dance. Following up to the eventful night some students chose to make homecoming proposal signs—a popularized tradition used to ask peers and significant others to the dance. Many Northwest students who proposed took this opportunity to be creative and unique with their proposals. For example, some students involved puns, gifts and song lyrics in and along with their signs.
