Remember, before you can edit anything on this page, you have to do what?
The majority of you will be editing pages that already exist, so you'll be looking for words that are misspelled or text that needs to be updated with new information. So, as you work your way through the text on this page in both this column and in the right column, be aware of the content so can you notice any misspellings or letters that need to be capitalized, or the words "Empty" that should be deleted, etc. There are a few, but not too many. After reading this, you can delete this blue highlighted text.
Homecoming is Oct. 23-25, 2025.
At the heart of Northwestern traditions is the homecom event. The Alva community, Northwestern alumni, current students, faculty and staff, as well as prospective students and bands from surrounding areas join in celebrating the Ranger family. Homecoming events such as the Miss Cinderella Pageant for high school senior females, the homecoming parade, band and parade float competitions, Ranger Royalty, and more are all funded strictly through the purchase of Northwestern’s annual themed homecoming button.

Homecoming buttons
Funds from the sale of Northwestern’s Homecoming Buttons are the main source of income for Homecoming.
The button is only $10 and provides entrance to the Miss Cinderella Pageant competition and Talent Night, the football game, as well as discounts and other incentives from a list of Alva merchants during the week of homecoming; it’s more than a $35 value! Each homecoming button is numbered and has a chance to win $500 in Alva Chamber Bucks. The winning button will be drawn during the homecoming football game, and the drawn number must be present to win.
