For the Sophomore girls, Varsity Cheerleader and Yearbook member Emily Houghton has been voted as a candidate for Homecoming Court. 

 “ I was excited and shocked, a bit of both,” Houghton said. 

This isn’t her first time around either, Houghton has appeared on court numerous times and is no stranger to the process. 

“I was on court once last year,” Houghton said. 

When asked who she looks up to and who she aspires to be she quickly and confidently responded. 

“My mom because she is my best friend and she is a great person, I just want to grow up to be exactly like her. She is very supportive and she always has my back, she doesn’t choose anybody else’s but mine and that’s the way it should be,” Houghton said. 

Although most people would respond with getting on Homecoming Court as their most memorable moment, Houghton had a different and special view on it all. 

“ Meeting new people and learning from their experiences,” Houghton said.

Almost halfway through high-school Houghton has come a long way and still has a ways to go but she hasn’t let that change her outlook on it all. 

“It’s hard..and it’s challenging, but it prepares you for life. It’s a must,” Houghton said.
