What is homecoming court?

Homecoming court is a tradition at many high schools and colleges in the United States, where a group of students are elected to represent their school during homecoming festivities. The court typically consists of a king and queen, as well as other members of the court such as princes and princesses.

Members of the homecoming court are usually elected by their peers through a voting process, although some schools may select court members based on criteria such as academic achievement, school involvement, and community service.

Homecoming court members often participate in various activities during homecoming week, such as parades, pep rallies, and halftime ceremonies at football games. They are also typically honored at a formal homecoming dance or reception.

Being elected to homecoming court is considered a prestigious honor and is often seen as a recognition of the students' leadership, school spirit, and positive contributions to the school community.
