Homecoming and homecoming week
For Homecoming Week, the students and faculty of HCHS use the days to "pep up" the team by having specific "special" days, where the students and faculty dress as something oriented with that specific day, for example, "Welcome to the Jungle Day", where one would dress up as something from the jungle or as something wild, such as a rock star or cave people. During the week, students get together within their own grade levels, participate in mini games, and Produce a skit that will be judged to get numerous points that traditionally skyrocket a classes points up and in turn, putting them ahead of the other classmen. At the end of the week, on Friday, the school has one final Pep Rally for seventh period, cheering the team on and wishing them their best. During this extended rally, the students produce "skits" where they show the team, being the Bonifay Blue Devils, defeating the opposite team. The HCHS Football team has their game with whoever they are meant to be facing in the evening, and after the game, is the Homecoming Dance. The game begins normally at around 7 pm, and ends shortly before the dance at the school, which normally begins at 9 pm and ends at 11 pm. For Homecoming 2010, the class of 2013 had their own slogan, "One and Done". The phrase was created because the class had only one point the entire week, only to come to a tragic end on Friday, November 5, when they came in second place for their skit, giving them 6 points.

The HCHS Drama group produces at least two plays every year, a winter/Christmas-oriented play in December, an annual chorus performance called "Decades Of Music" in March, and another normally a musical, in May.
