Douglas Byrd High School is getting ready to RECLAIM THE PRIDE during Homecoming Spirit Week, September 28–October 2! ❤️🖤💛

This year, we’re celebrating OUR HISTORY • OUR TODAY • A BRIGHTER TOMORROW. Every day has a special theme, so start planning your looks now!

🎓 MONDAY, SEPT. 28 — FIRST CLASS DAY
We’re taking it back to where it all began! DBHS’s first graduating class was 1972, so dress like you’re part of the first class. Think vintage, classy, retro, or anything that brings those ’70s vibes!

🧸 TUESDAY, SEPT. 29 — TINY TUESDAY
Bring back the childhood memories! Dress like your younger self or recreate your favorite elementary-school look, toys, characters, or throwback style.

⬆️ WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 30 — LEVEL UP WEDNESDAY
The future is calling! Dress for the career you see in your future. Whether you plan to become a doctor, educator, entrepreneur, attorney, chef, engineer, photographer, athlete, or something entirely different—show us what’s next!

👑 THURSDAY, OCT. 1 — RHYME WITHOUT REASON
Grab a friend and get creative! Pick two completely unrelated things that rhyme and dress as them. Think queen & bean, chef & ref, bee & tree—the crazier the combination, the better!

🦅 FRIDAY, OCT. 2 — EAGLE PRIDE & CLASS COLOR CLASH
We’re closing Spirit Week with EAGLE PRIDE! Wear your school and class colors, represent your class, and fill DBHS with Eagle spirit as we get ready for Homecoming! ❤️🖤💛

Students, staff, alumni, and the entire Eagle community—next week is about celebrating where we started, who we are today, and where we’re headed next.

Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle.
🔥 LEVEL UP.
🦅 PROTECT THE NEST.
💛

The Eagle Battalion conducted the annual 9/11 Tribute to remember and honor the Americans who were victims of the devastating attack on the United States. The program also serves as an opportunity to remember not only the victims, but to acknowledge all the heroes who went into action to help others, and to educate students on the significance of what happened on September 11, 2001.
