Homecoming proposals are a big hit every year, and this year has been no exception. Hoco proposals are both a sweet and heart-touching gesture that anyone will appreciate. From heartfelt flowers to hilarious poster boards, these proposals are a creative way to pop the question and express your feelings.
Let’s Explore These Proposals
Freshmen, Sai Chevula and Aneel Sainj were interviewed on this matter a few moments after their own Hoco proposal; Chevula expressed the joy in asking his favorite girl to Hoco.
“I had so many emotions coming to my mind; I was really scared that she would say no,” Chevula stated, “When she said yes, it made my day.”
“I was given a sign with a quote from my favorite movie,” South Forsyth senior Ella Britt states. “I was at work and he texted me that he was waiting outside for me to get off, and when I went out he was standing out there with a sign and flowers.”
She expressed her thoughts that this gesture was really sweet and super cute. This simple yet charming gesture made a great impression.
Inside joke or romantic?
We asked students at South Forsyth if they preferred posters with a personal inside joke that they share or a more romantic gesture.
“I prefer inside jokes on signs because it shows that the person tried to think about what you would want,” Britt states.
Inside jokes can be a good way to show the person being proposed to that you care for them and remember the little things about them. It can also be a remembrance of past good memories you may have together.
Breaking the norms
Why wait for a guy when you can ask someone yourself? It’s a new era, and so the social norm is changing. At South Forsyth High School, many students are Hoco-proposing to their friends instead of going with a romantic partner.
Not only are romantic Hoco proposals gaining popularity, but friendship Hoco proposals are also a big hit. Sophomores, Nora Elder and Sihi Vivek had a heartwarming friendship Hoco proposal.
“I got my wisdom teeth removed the day before, and she came over to bring me soup and ice cream and then she proposed to me,” Elder states. Hoco proposals to friends can strengthen your friendship and are great if you don’t have a date.
After the Hoco proposal, Elder states, “I felt absolutely amazing because I love my best friend.” Sometimes going with your friends can make everything so much easier and fun, while displaying the love and friendship you have for each other.

Homecoming at South Forsyth High School has always been a time of excitement, spirit, and school pride. Over the years there have been plenty of funny and unexpected moments that left students, staff and community members laughing. To capture some of these memorable stories, we spoke to Coach Keith Gravitt, South’s longtime athletic director. Having been here for over 30 years, he has witnessed countless Homecoming events, making him the perfect person to share some of the most amusing moments in homecoming history.
The Pep Rally Potato Sack Race:
One particularly hot day during the pep rally, students faced off against the teachers in a potato sack race. “It was hot as blue blazes,” Coach Gravitt said. The students were cheering loudly, but it was the teachers who struggled the most. “The teachers were way behind and couldn’t catch up, which made everyone crack up,” Gravitt said. The laughter filled the field as the teachers tried and failed to close the gap, making the moment unforgettable.
Behind the Scenes Chaos: The Wayward Floats
One year, the homecoming parade faced a hilarious mishap. The school had staged a long line of floats ready for the parade. However, one of the golf carts leading the parade veered off course. “It took a wrong turn, and then three of the four floats followed it,” Gravitt said. It wasn’t until later did they realized that they were lost and far from the intended route, causing confusion and amusement among onlookers.
The Infamous Bodysuit Streaker
Another unforgettable moment happened when a student dressed in a flesh-colored bodysuit jumped over the fence behind the concession stand during halftime. “It looked like they weren’t wearing anything,” Gravitt said. The student ran across the field, much to the surprise of everyone in attendance, and even managed to evade capture. This hilarious incident became legendary among those who saw it.
The Wind-Tossed Tent
In another mishap, a tent was set up for the Homecoming Court, and their parents were blown away by a sudden gust of wind. “We had just started the game, and the wind picked up the tent and sent it flying,” Gravitt said. People scrambled to catch the tent as it flew across the field, causing quite a commotion. “Everyone was running everywhere, trying to help, but it was pure chaos,” he added with a laugh.
Two Chains Cheney: A Principal’s Spirit
Former Principal Jeff Cheney, beloved for his school spirit, embraced a humorous nickname given by the students during this memorable Homecoming of the past. “He wore a big gold chain, and the students started calling him ‘Two Chains’,” Gravitt said. Principal Cheney took the name in stride, showing support for his students and becoming a central part of the school’s Homecoming spirit that year.
The Evolution of Homecoming Traditions
Back in 1996, South Forsyth High School’s Homecoming looked quite different. “The community was quite into it, and the dance was huge,” Gravitt said, recalling his early days at the school. In those days, the school would set up a large tent connected to the Blue Gym to accommodate the crowds. “We were a much smaller school then, so everyone kind of knew each other, which made it special.”
As Homecoming continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: the spirit, the camaraderie, and the hilarious moments that bring everyone together. From runaway golf carts to unexpected streakers, Coach Gravitt’s stories remind us that South Forsyth High School’s Homecoming memories will continue to make students and staff laugh for years.
