The election of Homecoming Court and Class Representatives was held in September.
Members of the freshman, sophomore and junior classes had an opportunity to vote for five girls.
The one receiving the most votes became the representative of that class.
The representatives are freshman Hannah Brady; sophomore Georgia Phillips; and junior Jamia Allen.
The senior class picked 14 girls, from which the entire student body chose seven, electing a Homecoming Court.
The 14 girls nominated by the senior class were:
Tariyah Allen, Liberty Burnette, Taniah Cunningham, Jordan Davenport, Camille Downer, Karis Gary, Jordan Glaze, Lacie Hall, Katie Hobbs, Jade Partain, Maryjane Richard, Kaitlin Royston, Nystaza Scott and Emily Townsend.
The student body then chose the homecoming court queen candidates.
The girl with the most votes will be crowned the 2021 Homecoming Queen.
