This year is Emmelyn Harrison’s and last year in high school. Emmelyn was lucky enough to be nominated along with four other nominees. Emmelyn was surprised when she got the news that she was nominated for homecoming, “it’s good to know that when people think of someone nice, they would put my name down.” Being nominated is a dream she has always had and this is a memory she will always carry with her.

 

This is Noah Colwell’s last year in high school and he felt honored to be nominated, “I’m glad that I’m making a positive impact that people would nominate me.” Noah is in the marching band and is “excited to walk down the field with the band’s support.”
