The highly anticipated homecoming theme is “Marco’s Favorite Heroes and Toughest Villains”. The committee is working diligently to organize a full week of fun events for the campus, community and alumni. The 2014 Homecoming theme, “Marco’s Favorite Heroes and Toughest Villains” was chosen with the expectation of creative interpretation.
