Senior Chris Sheppard was voted 2011 Homecoming King by his peers. He expresses his excitement and his sadness for this South Lakes homecoming, which will be his last.
Are you excited to be homecoming king?
Yeah I’m excited. It’s definitely a huge honor, and I want to thank the seniors and the whole school for this. I feel very humbled.
Will you be participating in the rest of the homecoming events?
Of course, I will be escorting the queen. We will be waving in the parade together, and tomorrow we have our ceremonial dance.
Do you feel sad that this is your last homecoming?
I feel very sad that this is my last homecoming. I want to go to college, but I wish I could stay at South Lakes.
Do you think the underclassmen can handle future homecomings?
I think they learned from the best, and they can take the reins from here.
