Kingfisher High School’s football homecoming queen and captain will be announced this Friday night.

The coronation and football game are the culmination of a week of festivities for the high school students and two days of events in which the community can take part.

Homecoming theme

“Surfing to Victory” is the theme for the week.

“The Kingfisher High School Student Council has been planning diligently for the homecoming festivities,” said Amy Pearson, one of two KHS faculty members working with students for the event. She is joined by Stephanie Bieren.

Alli Themer is the Student Council president this year and Xavier Ridenour the vice president.

Mia Franco is the homecoming chairperson. Students will have different dress-up themes each day during the week.

The Student Council has also been taking orders for homecoming t-shirts and sweatshirts (a limited number will be available at the game).

The homecoming parade this year will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6.

The parade will be in downtown Kingfisher, beginning at Walter Building Center and move south down Main Street.
