And one such big Texas tradition is Homecoming and big Homecoming mums. In 2023, the MPHS Advanced Floral Design class, with help from other ag classes, took big Homecoming mums to the extreme with their idea to build a giant mum.

The mum took three weeks to build and took 17 students to transport from the Career and Technology building to the main academic building at MPHS. Employees from the MPISD Maintenance Department used a scissor lift to hang it from the ceiling. The MPHS Engineering Department took measurements and determined that it covers 239.33 square feet and is over 33 feet long.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">The students and Horticulture and Floral Design teacher, Susie Hearron, hung the mum in Tiger Alley at Mount Pleasant High School to kick off Homecoming festivities.
