With homecoming approaching, there are a ton of activities planned to happen rather quickly. One of the events being the memorable Homecoming Pageant. A time where both male and female students compete for the prominent title of Homecoming King or Queen.
This year’s homecoming pageant at Temple University is sure to be more than just a memorable event. The pageant will be a time of fun and celebration because everyone including alumnus, faculty, and the student body are coming together to celebrate just how amazing Temple University really is.
Senior Lorae Bonamy, junior Paige Burno, and senior Demeshia Davis are the three ladies running for homecoming queen this year. Each of the girls are an important member of Temple’s student body. The contestants represent both student organizations, school activities, as well as Temple’s very own track and field team. These girls go above and beyond even outside of school to show what it truly means to be Temple Made.
