American high school traditions.

American high schools have all sorts of traditions. There are lots of sports and musical events, plays and dances, but the biggest events are Homecoming and the Prom.

Homecoming
At the beginning of the school year students (and the former students as well) celebrate Homecoming. There is usually a parade of floats, a football game with a rival school (with cheer-leaders dancing and shouting to support their teams) and a big dance, too.
Students vote for a Homecoming King and Queen who are usually chosen because they are popular or attractive. Often, the King and Queen are the best football player and a cheer-leader.
