Homecoming court is the one thing that is ensured will happen during the week of homecoming.
Organizations and teams on campus have the opportunity to nominate one woman and one man, both of junior or senior status.
They are voted on by the student body to narrow down the list of juniors and seniors to five men and women.
Once the top five men and women are announced, another round of voting begins to decide who the homecoming king and queen will be.
This year’s winners of the top five candidates are announced during halftime of the homecoming football game.
