Homecoming, those special celebrations during football season that's filled with memories and traditions. An event that links the past with the present and inspires great hopes for the future. During homecoming week, festivities unite the school and the community, forming a sense of family that keeps the traditions and spirit of the school alive throughout the generations. The first homecoming celebration dates back to the year 1911! University of Missouri Athletic Director, Chester Brewer, afraid that fans and alumnus would not attend the "big game" due to a change in location, devised a plan to add some excitement to the game. He challenged the alumnus to return home for a great celebration with parades, parties, a rally and of course the big game. Over 9000 fans returned home for the event, which is recorded as the first official homecoming game. The rest is history. Now almost every high school and college in the country continues this annual tradition.
