HS Student Council has an important announcement about the 2021 Homecoming Royalty Ballot. Due to a clerical error, we need to have a revote on the Homecoming Queen Top Ten. Yesterday's ballot for the Queen is not valid. ONLY today's ballot will be counted to determine our top ten females. Voting is open from 8:15-1:00 pm. Top Ten Queen Candidates will be announced at the end of Block 4 and our photo will still take place at the flag pole entrance. Sorry for the inconvenience. Our Top Ten Homecoming King Candidates have been finalized. Our Top Ten King Candidates are: Caiden Becker, Jacob Brecht, Colin Buch, Isaac Cretin, Dawson Franck, Casey Gallagher, Aiden Harris, Ryan Tjelmeland, Aidan Thompson, and Lawrence Wallace.
