Greene County High School’s Homecoming is next week.

Principal Brian Phillips says homecoming presents a lot of positivity in the community, but it can also create negative connotations if students get in trouble.

“It’s a time where most administrators, they love the school spirit, but they dread the worrying about kids and what they’re going to do.  So we want kids to make good decisions and have parents support us and helping kids make those good decisions.”

One consistent problem has been excessive toilet paper on people’s property.  Phillips points out that there could be possible consequences if those situations continue to escalate.

“A little bit is okay, but don’t take it over the top (and) destroy people’s property.  If they tell you to leave, you need to leave.  We try to tell kids to make good decisions so we don’t have to get into the situation of taking stuff away.  We definitely don’t want to do that during homecoming.”

Phillips encourages everyone to celebrate homecoming in a respectful and safe manner.
