Happy Hoco! These 75 Homecoming Captions Are Perfect For The Big Game

School is back in session, and you know what that means, right? Homecoming will be here soon! And if you had a memorable homecoming (often referred to as "hoco"), you undoubtedly feel extra sentimental about your teen's homecoming experience. As you prepare to brag about your dancing queen or king on your own social media pages, you're probably already thinking about what you want to say. For some parents (and students), your homecoming caption will be short and sweet... understated, if you will. If you spent hours upon hours with your child before the big night, watching them try on dozens of outfits before they found "the one," you might joke about your teen's Hoco fashion journey. Or, if you're the parent of a TikTok-obsessed teen, you might even try to capitalize on that. However you're feeling as this rite of passage approaches, there are plenty of homecoming captions to capture your mood — and the mood of your teen, if they need some caption inspiration, too.

On the surface, homecoming can seem like just another fall weekend in high school. But those who've experienced homecoming know it's more than that. If your school district is smart, the big game is usually set up as an "easy win" for the team, meaning homecoming weekend starts on a bright spot. For some schools, that game might be the only one they'll win all season. For others, it's just another W on their long list of wins. Either way, that W feels all the more special earned on homecoming when the stands are more packed than usual, alums come home just to watch, and all your friends get dressed up extra fancy (or with more team spirit).

So, whether your kid is more pumped for the game or the dance — and whether you're a nervous wreck about your kid's Hoco shenanigans or are simply looking forward to cheering on the team — there's a homecoming caption out there to capture the moment.
