Seniors Brayden Henderson and Naomi Yoder

Seniors Brayden Henderson and Naomi Yoder are candidates for Homecoming king and queen.

   Naomi is involved in Student Council, FCA, FCCLA, wrestling, and track. Her  future plans are to attend college with a scholarship to run, and graduate with her RN/BSN. She is most excited to get dressed up and make memories with the other candidates. “I love getting dressed up and participating in all the candidate games and activities,” Yoder said. 

   Brayden is involved in FFA, FBLA, Stuco, Math Club, NHS, FCA, Cross Country, Basketball, and Pep Club. After high school he plans to study mechanical engineering at the university of Missouri. Last year he won prince, so he is hoping to go back to back. “I am most excited for the assembly because it’s always really fun,” Henderson said.
