Montgomery Catholic Celebrates a Spirited Homecoming Week

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School celebrated a joyful and tradition-filled Homecoming Week, October 13–18, bringing together students, families, alumni, and friends for a week of spirited events and community celebration.

During halftime of the varsity football game against Greenville High School, reigning Homecoming Queen Miss Kate Johnson ’25 crowned the 2025 Homecoming Queen, Miss Ava Crimi, while School President Mr. Justin Castanza crowned the 2025 Homecoming King, Mr. Cayden Dees.

The 2025 Montgomery Catholic Homecoming Court included:
Freshman John Baker escorting attendant Maggie Holmes, Sophomore AJ Dottery escorting attendant Brooklyn Fuller, Junior JP Costa escorting attendant Gabby Eady, Senior Michael Sheffield escorting attendant Peyton Dees, Senior Evan Parker escorting attendant Rylee Wilcoxon, and King Cayden Dees escorting Queen Ava Crimi.

Homecoming festivities began with an Alumni Mass hosted by the Class of 1975, followed by the annual “Alumni Under the Tent” celebration, where more than 250 alumni and friends enjoyed a meal sponsored by The Little Donkey & Waldo’s restaurants, 3 Squared Technology Group, Montgomery Catholic’s Class of 1975, and Coca-Cola.

Throughout the week, students across all campuses participated in themed spirit days and special events. Thursday night’s Homecoming Parade and Powder Puff football game brought the school community together to honor the 1989 football team and coaches, who returned as parade grand marshals and honorary team captains. The celebration concluded with a high-energy pep rally and a 49–7 Homecoming victory over the Greenville Tigers.

Homecoming Week 2025 was a shining reflection of Montgomery Catholic’s strong school spirit, community pride, and faith-filled tradition.
