Even though football season has yet to commence, Centralia High School held a Homecoming event for its students. The event was the combination of the annual Homecoming tailgate and Homecoming coronation.
The event can well-described by Junior Escort Connor Lorence. When asked about the organization of the event, Lorence said, “So, Homecoming took place inside this year, with activities in the gym, and food and drinks in the cafeteria. In the gym, they had things like basketball, 9-square, and spike ball going on for students to do. Coronation also ended up taking place in the gym.”
The event served to be a helpful morale booster for students and teachers alike, receiving a relaxing break from a school-year full of surprises and varying schedules.
When asked to share his feelings about having the event during the Coronavirus pandemic, Lorence responded, “While it was a bit odd and unusual, it was still great that the school was able to pull off Homecoming during the pandemic. It really gave the students something fun to do in a year that hasn’t been normal in any way, shape, or form.”
The event reportedly had a fair turnout and was managed using social distancing and other professional and conscious procedures.
The Homecoming Court is as follows:
Queen – Jamesyn Lyons
King – Logan Fischer
Sr. Attendant – Austyn Howe
Sr. Escort – Carter Williams
