Homecoming court nominations took place on September 18 during lunch. On this day, seniors had a chance to nominate up to ten girls and ten boys for homecoming king and queen. The names of those twenty students who received the most votes will be announced on Monday, September 23.  Then seniors will get to nominate five boys and five girls from those twenty.  After that, the entire school will vote on October 2 in their second period class.

The king and queen will be crowned during the pep rally.
