Homecoming and prom. What's the difference? What month(s) are they usually in?

Question

I couldn't really find a category for this to go in. This is the closest that I could get.

Answer 1

Homecoming around the time football season starts, and is usually set in fall. It's for everyone in the school, and a time that Homecoming queen/king is selected. Prom is a gathering for juniors, and seniors only--unless you are a date. It's the seniors last dance, and it's based on them. It's usually held in spring.

Answer 2

Homecoming and prom are very similar. Basically they are excuses to have dances. Homecoming is a general celebration where alumni of the school are invited to revisit the school ("come home") and participate in activities. Often there is a football game and a dance. This usually happens near the beginning of the school year. Prom usually happens at the end of the school year, and it's typically the most formal dance.

Answer 3

Homecoming is in the fall around october. It's usually the football teams first home game and celebrated by a dance. Prom is at the end of the school year like may or june.

Answer 4

Homecoming is just to get you warmed up (the guys) and meet new girls. HC is a little more casual than prom. Prom is the BIG dance. Extremely formal and many people choose to lose their virginity at prom. It seems to be a fad or something.

Answer 5

home comming is usually the second month of the beggining of school when your school does all sorts of homecomming activities like: the homecoming dance,Foot ball game, pep rally, and any other traditions your school is used to.. the prom usually happens the second to the last month of school.. and is jor juniors and seniors... they are both dances and they both usually have a certain theme to them... hope this helps.....

Answer 6

homecomming is just a dance, nothing formal, normally in the fall, prom is normally in the spring, and a formal dance for upperclassmen, no freshman or sophmores (unless dating someone older).
