In American high school，there are all kinds of school activities，which make students develop their interests and love their school.

　　Each school holds certain yearly activities for the entire school body，such as homecomings，proms，holiday celebrations，etc.

　　The homecoming is celebrated each fall，usually on a weekend，and events leading up to it may last all week.While homecoming is celebrated differently at each school，it usually includes a parade and the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen，and ends with a football game and school dance.

　　The prom is a formal dance for students in grades 11 and 12，and is generally anticipated as the most important social event of the school year.It can also be a time of anxiety，as boys have to work up the courage to ask a date to the prom，and girls hope the right boy invites them.These couples dress in formal clothes-girls in long gowns，boys in suits.Some students even arrange a limousine and driver for their group of friends to arrive in style！At the prom，students dance，have snacks and drinks，and chat.Prom usually ends with a Prom King and Queen being announced and crowned on stage before an envious audience.

　　Besides hosting events for holidays such as the Fourth of July and Halloween，individual high schools often have their own special events.One day might be "Inside Out/Backwards Day"，where students and teachers should wear their clothes reversed all day，perhaps walk and speak backwards，and even go to classes in opposite order.And some schools hold contests where，if certain academic goals are met，the headmaster will kiss a pig，shave his mustache，or dress as a woman for the day.
