The online voting opened on Sept.13 and then the court was announced the next day on Sept.14 during the school pep-assembly. Every student put on court is labeled a prince or princess. At the school assembly two students from the senior class are crowned the King and Queen of the homecoming court, this is decided from the votes in the online voting on Sept. 13.
