Homecoming festivities are quickly approaching, and highschool students have been called upon to vote for a homecoming king and queen. These are senior-class individuals who the student body believes represent them best and are deserving of distinction. With voting taking place within the next few days in our own school, the Red & White Newspaper has developed a get-to-know-you guide for each couple on the 2022 Bellefonte Senior Royalty Court.
