From the 78 seniors nominated for the court, six male and six female students were chosen to compete for only two coveted crowns.
Throughout the week, students got to know the candidates through a few activities organized by Student Council.
Candidates participated in a video filmed by Room 125 Productions, ignited a bonfire at Rally ’Round the Lion and were introduced at the Homecoming Court Assembly. But the student body had to choose one king and queen to take home the title.
During halftime of the homecoming football game Sept. 27, seniors Puja Shah and Matt Rood were crowned.
