Grace Mudge shares that “being crowned Queen gives me the opportunity to be an example for young girls to follow. It is an honor to represent such an amazing class and school”. Grace said that Mrs. Lizzie Perez had made a tremendous impact on her while at TCS. “When I started my junior year of high school I became interested in the theater department. Lizzie has always believed in me, and pushed me to try things outside of my comfort zone. She is such a supportive influence in my life. Lizzie has given me so many opportunities to be involved in theater and do the things that I love doing. But most importantly she has shown me the value in pushing past your own limits.” Grace shares that after she graduates from TCS, she will major in nursing with plans on becoming a nurse practitioner. Grace added that being crowned Queen means so much because her sister was Homecoming Queen in 2019.
Mrs. Regina Mudge, Grace’s Mom, shared “watching our children thrive in a safe and loving environment has been the greatest gift TCS has given us. Having such close connections with staff, students, and other families creates a sense of belonging, and opportunities to celebrate one another’s accomplishments just as a family would.”

Ethan McDowell shared that “being crowned as King means that I represent the school in a good way and know how to be a Trinity Lion.” Ethan also shared “all of my football coaches, as well as teachers Shack and KC have impacted my life at TCS. All these guys have taught countless, invaluable life lessons that I'll teach my kids when it comes to God, work, and social life.” Ethan plans to play football at Miami University in Ohio and Major in either Psychology or Criminology.
Ms. Rosetta McDowell, Ethan’s Mom, shares ”For us, being a part of Trinity Christian School over the past 6 years has been transforming for our family. Specifically for Ethan, I believe the friendships and relationships he has formed here have divinely affected his life's trajectory and he is equipped to walk in God's purpose.”
The representatives on Homecoming Court are selected by the High School student body as leaders among their peers. They are a wonderful group of students who are all very involved in both in school and extra curricular activities and represent our school well.
