Yep. The odd thing I think is that my high school didn't do anything for
homecoming, other than the homecoming game. There was a game every year, and we

wasn't a dance or anything, but there were lots of events going on the whole
of homecoming weekend, like the giant freshman vs. sophomore rope pull, the
pep rallies, bar-b-q, etc.
As for why it's called 'Homecoming' I have no idea. Seems it's always in the
start of the year, though... so maybe it has to do with teams coming back to
school?
