Homecoming 2014-2015

We love you,
Oh yes we do,
We love you,
Oh yes we do,
When you’re not with us,
We’re blue,
Baby blue,
Honoria we love you!
I’m Honoria born, I’m Honoria bred, and when I die I’ll be Honoria dead. Honoria is forever,” is another quote that every Honoria member knows.
Honoria, which started out as a service club only for girls, has been a spirit club since 2008, the only spirit club in Miami High history! Being the only spirit club here separates them from clubs like Interact and Beta.
The advisor of the club is Mr. Chaine, who got the position when former students and Honoria historians kept asking him for 2 weeks straight to take part in the club until he said yes.

Why did the members join the club?
This club has some of the friendliest people you will meet at this school. “Everyone’s a friend,” said historian Ornella Lopresti, who started the 2014 school year knowing only one person and ending the year with a new family.
“[The club] stands for unity,” said sophomore Giovanni Castillo who is the club’s sergeant-at-arms. “All of us are one big family.”
Some members have had Honoria in their blood before they even enrolled at Miami High. The president Hector Menendez, a senior, has been an unofficial member since he was in 8th grade when his sister, who was a club historian, would always bring him to all the meetings and events, so he was always involved.

What are some of their notable events?
Honoria hosts a lot of events, some of the most fun to participate in and watch. Their events are Mr. Miami High, which is a pageant but for boys; Powder Puff, which is flag football for girls; and the Club Tournaments, which are games where the different Miami High clubs compete.
“[These events] are exciting and create bonds and friendships,” says club president Hector Menendez. “There are a lot of fun things you see behind the scenes. I love communicating with the participants.”

Would you join Honoria?
Some students are thinking about joining Honoria this year. Sophomore Jorge Daniel Cruz said, “Last year I wasn’t in a club, but [Honoria] seems like a very nice club to socialize with different people and have fun.”
Pablo Contreras, a freshman, said, “It’s all about family like in the movies. I’m very social, and I like having friends.”
