Homecoming is usually associated with schools in North America that celebrated an autumn convocation rather than spring/summer graduation (although not necessarily). The students would return to the school/town (come home) from wherever. Sometimes it works in conjunction with a fall fair in some places.
It's a big to-do in many places. There's usually a big school game (autumn is often associated with football season) and a series of celebrations associated with it.
'Panther' is more than likely the school's team name (I've taught Falcons, Eagles, Warriors and Spartans in my career).
Hope this helps.

Almost all schools, colleges and universities in the US and canada have some sort of mascot which represents the school's name for all its teams.
some common examples
Notre Dame University Fighting Irish
University of Michigan Wolverines
Duke University Blue Devils
Not sure how common this is outside of North America.

Home Coming at New Mexico Western College in my home town, Silver City, NM, was a big deal in the 1950s and 1960s, and probably still is. Basically, it was a day for alums to visit the college, enjoy meeting old classmates, and support the football team, the Mustangs. I remember it well because my high school band always played at half-time, and we got free barbecue. And what barbecue it was, made every year by Harold Cope (who ran the college's cafeteria and was famous for his barbecue). I will not — cannot! — forget that great beef and sauce on a warm hamburger bun. I wish time travel were real!

I'm hoping someone can explain what Home Coming is to do with school. I was watching youtube about Panther teachers dancing to do with Home Coming. Is Panther to do with football, baseball or basketball or something else???
