Voting isn’t just a hot topic because of the presidential elections. It’s also big at Churchill County High School where students have voted for their homecoming court, king and queen.
The announcement of the king and queen during tonight’s homecoming football game’s halftime is one of the most anticipated parts of the event.
Meagan Winder, 18, said what she looks forward to the most during homecoming is to see the look on the girl’s face when the announcer calls the name of the queen, and it’s she.
Any senior can become king or queen and the entire student body takes part in deciding who will be crowned. But, certain factors are still important.
“They have to have good school spirit, good grades, and be a good role model to qualify,” said 17-year-old Marissa Hoover.
Hoover also thinks that students choose people who have truly contributed to their school.
“To me it’s kind of like picking the students who deserve to be recognized,” she said.
Because people don’t campaign for the titles, nominees are generally students who are well known throughout the school.
King nominee Rylan Stevens, 17, said he thinks he was nominated because of his reputation for being the guy with a motorcycle and scruffy look.
“It’s because I have a beard!” he said with a grin.
Voting for king and queen is important because when students vote, they are deciding who will carry that honor and memory with them for the rest of their lives.
“It would just be really cool to say you won your senior year,” said 17-year-old queen nominee Courtney Worlie.
Even though only two people experience being king and queen, it is also exciting for students to see the people they voted for being crowned.
“They’re proud of them,” Winder said. “They voted for them.”
