Homecoming Court has been nominated and voted upon, leaving both the nominees and court members honored and hyped for Homecoming.
“I got the band on my side,” said senior court member Marlie Corson. “This year and last year I started talking to a lot more people on it and made a lot more friends and I feel like that’s kind of what got me to be able to be voted on to court. I feel kind of popular, like I’m cool now and I have a lot of friends I guess.”
Yet some of the nominees were not as lucky, although still felt a sense of honor and joy of seeing themselves on the ballot.
“I was shocked to even see myself there,” said junior nominee JieJie Li. “I didn’t really try to get on court, I joined a lot of clubs, activities, and sports, I’m honored but I would’ve been more honored if I got on.”
Many however do not feel the same sentiment for not getting voted on, still feeling a distinct sense of pride and accomplishment
“It was pretty cool,” said junior nominee Omolara Ogunmola. “It seemed pretty stacked against me but still to even end up on it was really cool for me.”
Still, with the ballot being released, many wonder how the ballot is even picked. Court members have echoed that the secret is simply to be involved in school activities.
“I’m involved with so many clubs and sports,” says junior court member Reagan Nelson, “It’s really all about being involved with what the school gives you.”
