Emanuel County Institute will celebrate homecoming from September 30 to October 4 with a series of fun activities centered around the theme "The Greatest Show." Throughout the week, there will be dress-up days for students, faculty, and staff, including "The Greatest Star" day (favorite celebrity or character) on Monday, "The Greatest Rhyme" day (rhyming duos) on Tuesday, "The Greatest Holiday" day (dress for your favorite holiday) on Wednesday, "The Greatest Country" day (wear red, white, and blue) on Thursday, and "The Greatest Team" day (wear bulldog attire) on Friday, which will culminate in The Greatest Pep Rally.

The annual homecoming dance will be held on Saturday, October 5, 2024, in ECI’s gym. ECI high school students are invited to attend. For any inquiries regarding the dance, please get in touch with Mrs. Dena Walden at drwalden@emanuel.k12.ga.us.
