Homecoming

Each year, Homecoming is an event steeped in traditions. One
tradition that has been followed for years is the selection of honor guards.
Every class, besides seniors, voted on honor guards to represent their respective
classes.
Kelci Owens and Thad Wells were chosen by the freshman class to be honor
guards.
“
It means a lot to me that my class chose me to represent them,” said
Wells.
For freshmen, this is their first chance to stand up in front of the community
to represent both their class and themselves.
“
I am nervous about the ceremony because everyone will be watching,” said
Owens.
The sophomore honor guards will be Joab Barr and Tessa Coronado.
“
Being an honor guard is just as cool as hugging Miss Kansas,” said
Barr.
