The homecoming court is a tradition in many high schools and colleges in the United States. It is a representative group of students that, in a coeducational institution, consists of a king and queen, and possibly prince(s) and princess(es) . The homecoming court is usually made up of seniors who are nominated by their peers or faculty members. The selection process for the homecoming court can vary by high school, but the idea is that the individuals are trying to win votes to become homecoming queen or king, with the runners-up filling out the court as homecoming royalty. Some schools allow any student to nominate themselves for homecoming king or queen, while others require nomination by peers or by a committee of faculty members. Homecoming court nominees usually have to meet a set of participation requirements first, such as maintaining a certain grade point average, having good attendance, and/or having a good disciplinary record. Once the nomination process has settled, the initial group of participants is narrowed down to a handful of students with the highest number of nominations. These final homecoming court nominees will be announced, and then they will have some time for campaigning to earn a final vote from their classmates.

The homecoming court is a well-established tradition that holds great significance. While some students believe that the homecoming court selection process is merely a popularity contest, others believe that the homecoming court is a fun tradition that brings together the senior class and provides entertainment for all students. The homecoming court is a special part of homecoming where students get to choose those who they think will reflect their class the best or who deserves to be an honorable representative. The best part of homecoming court is that anyone and everyone can be voted in, and not one student has to feel like they don’t have a chance.
