Seniors Jaxson Deckard and Samantha Harr

Seniors Jaxson Deckard and Samantha Harr are running for Homecoming King and Queen. Deckard is involved in FBLA, FCA, NHS, C-SIP, Student Council, Track, and Cross Country. When asked why being nominated for homecoming King was so important, Deckard explained, “It’s cool to be voted to see other people like me that much and want to see me as their candidate or Homecoming King.” When Deckard was also asked what his advice would be, he said, “Don’t let yourself fall behind. Just because you think you can’t do something, doesn’t mean you can’t.” Deckard plans to attend a U.S. Service Academy after graduation. Harr is involved in FBLA and FCA. When Harr was asked what her advice would be, she said, “Chase your dreams and never give up!” When asked why being nominated for homecoming Queen was so important, Harr explained,” I feel like it’s important because I’ve always wanted to win a Queen Crown, and being in a dress is like my favorite place to be.” Harr plans to attend Nursing school, become a Pediatrician, and then specialize in Neuroscience.
