Homecoming kicked off around 7 PM, with the names of the contestants being announced alongside their impressive accomplishments. “I was so nervous” mentioned Harolin Bautista earlier that day. The football game paused as representatives from three schools were introduced, and the anticipation in the crowd grew with each passing moment. Whispers had circulated all week as people voiced their opinions about the homecoming candidates. The tension in the air was palpable as the announcer declared, “And the Homecoming King is Ikylez Colon….” A few girls stood on the field, uncertain and hopeful, their eyes fixed on the stage, waiting to see if they would be crowned. “Seeing the support from my friends around me has been really encouraging and has made me really happy” Liliana stated earlier in the week and finally, the moment arrived: “And the homecoming queen is… Liliana Hernandez Flores!
Shoutout to all of the candidates and an extra special shoutout to our PASE nominees!
