This year’s Homecoming theme was announced by Arcadia High School’s ASB at the Rally Court on Aug. 30 during lunch. The theme is: Through the Looking Glass. Homecoming this year is being held in the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles, California. 

Tickets are $75 with ASB and can be purchased at the ASB Office before school, during lunch, or after school. 

Inspired by the famous story of Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass refers to stepping into a strange and unfamiliar world. The book, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll tells the story of Alice in an unusual world where she grows up as she explores and begins to understand the rules of the world. 

This year’s theme is intended to give off a “grand, mysterious vibe,” said Amber Cheung, ASB’s Junior Class President.

This venue is known for its dinosaur fossil exhibit and Age of Mammal exhibition, which inspired the theme of the dance.

ASB had considered other ideas before deciding on this theme. “We had ideas about…gardens and flowers, but we decided to go for the Alice in Wonderland theme once we found the venue because we felt that it tied more and the garden didn’t really fit this one,” said Cheung.
