This week was the voting for the homecoming court at our school. For this event, every student in the school votes on who they want as the 'Homecoming King and Queen', a tradition that has been around both Universities as well as High Schools.

Homecoming is the once a year event at each school, when the alumni, who are the students who have already graduated from the school, return to visit their 'school home'. Usually on homecoming weekend, there are sports games, musical performances and other shows. Alumni are also able to visit many of their old professors again.

So during the homecoming weekend, there is the tradition of the 'Homecoming King and Queen.' There is nothing that they actually have to do, but it is basically an honor given to the student that everyone thinks has done the most to make the school a better place. As part of the tradition, they get awarded a crown, to symbolize that they are the King and Queen.
