Elk River High School students enjoyed a rousing pep fest this past Friday during homecoming festivities.
Elk River High School Principal Terry Bizal kicked things off with an E-L-K-S chant involving freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors to bring everyone together. He then announced the emcees, and it was game on —seniors against everyone.
The seniors, of course, won everything as they were judged louder, faster, smarter and more spirit filled than the rest. Juniors and underclassmen put up quite a fight.
Students and staff sang the National Anthem without incident, and a king and queen were crowned. Keegan Haus was crowned king, and Elise Hills opened the winning rose box to be crowned queen.
The others up for king and queen honors were: Ciara Bailey, Cole Antilla, Emily Sizen, Grant Warner, Madison Odegaard, Mitch Stroh, Rachel Dorff and Tristan Carlson.
The junior royalty included Lily Anderson and Kevin Egbujor. Underclassmen royalty were Claire Anderson, Ryan Wilson and Sebastian Salzar Santor.
