Pride, Tradition & Celebration:

Meet the 2026 Homecoming Court

By Samantha DePriest

The annual tradition of Homecoming started decades before Trinity Christian School was founded back in 1991. Homecoming is a way of honoring the past while celebrating the future by welcoming alumni as well as former teachers, families, and staff back to school. Each Fall, TCS celebrates Homecoming with a week full of creative dress down days for the entire student body, an exciting football game and heartwarming alumni tailgate, and a festive Homecoming dance for the high school students to enjoy. The high school student body selects students to serve as ambassadors on Homecoming Court.

The history of Homecoming Court at TCS started in 2008. For the first nine years, the court was made up of only senior girls. In 2017, senior boys were added to the court and one was selected each year as Homecoming King. As the years went on, the court grew to include both boys and girls from grades nine through twelve. This year there is one girl and one boy representative from each class and six girls and six boys from the senior class. The Homecoming Court is selected by fellow classmates as ambassadors of the school representing all that TCS stands for.

These eighteen students will be celebrated at the Homecoming football game on Friday, October 2nd, before the Lions walk. The king and queen will be presented each a crown and sash as well as the runners up as princess and prince during halftime.

Macie Moore

I have attended Trinity for 6 years and am on both the TCS Varsity Softball and Golf teams. I am the student council president for the 9th grade class, and am happy l also get to be on this years Homecoming Court.

My dad has had the greatest influence on me. He has been my example through everything and has raised me to be a smart and independent young woman. My favorite thing about him though, is how he has always been my coach during sports and in life. When I say he has had the greatest influence on me, I really mean my 3 year old self to the present. He has been my coach from day one on the softball field and on the golf course. I would love to grow up and be like my dad and make him proud.

What I love about TCS is most definitely the Bible classes. I have never walked into any Bible class and haven't been excited for it. All the way from 5th grade Bible class with Mrs. Peters to 9th grade Bible class with Mrs. Griffin. All of my teachers have been amazing and I believe truly gifted by God in their teaching. My favorite part is the discussion. We always get deep- thinking questions and discuss many topics about theology. I just enjoy my Bible classes everyday.

To me, being an ambassador of this school means representing something greater than me. It means understanding that my actions and willingness to help can influence how our school is viewed. I believe a good leader of the school should be approachable by anyone and dependable by anyone. I don't think being a leader is about having the loudest voice, but by using by your position to make others feel heard and help them grow. My biggest goal being an ambassador at the school is to really point everyone to God. My actions should glorify God so I hope that in that, people will see Jesus shine through me.

My favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 31:30 - "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.”

Lenox Summerville

I have been at TCS for 2 years and am active in Theater, Archery, and Student Council.

My friends have had the greatest influence on me because they have always encouraged me to be myself and are kind and funny.

What I love most about TCS is the people. I’ve made great friendships here, and I can't wait to make more.

Being an ambassador means representing TCS with good values and setting a positive example for others. I want to be someone who makes people feel welcome and inspires others to be positive.

My favorite Bible verse is Genesis 1:3 “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” This verse is meaningful to me because it reminds me how powerful God is. He was able to create light out of nothing simply by speaking, which inspires me and reminds me that nothing is impossible.

My biggest influence on the person I am today is my parents. Not only have they supported me through everything, but they have shaped me into the person I am today. I could not be more grateful to have such amazing influences in my life. I love you mom and dad!

Being ambassador of our school also means an ambassador of Christ. We are all called leaders in Christ.

My favorite Bible verse is 1 Peter 3:3-4, "It is not fancy hair, gold jewelry, or fine clothes that should make you beautiful. No, your beauty should come from inside you---the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. That beauty will never disappear, and it is worth very much to God."

The two people who have had the greatest impact on me, and the person I am today, are my mom and my dad. They have loved me, supported me, cared for me, and led by example of how I should live my life in a way that honors and glorifies the Lord. I could not be more grateful that the Lord blessed me with them as my parents.

A Bible verse that is meaningful in my life is "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things."

My family has had the greatest influence on the person I am today because they are my biggest supporters and encouragers. My mom has taught me to have a compassionate heart, work hard always, and live a life that glorifies God every day. My dad has always pushed me to be confident and believe in myself as well as persevere through hard times. My brother, Caden, always makes me laugh and shaped me into the competitive and determined person I am today. My sister, Sloane, has been an example of graciousness and having a cheerful attitude.

For me, being an ambassador of our school means being someone that anyone can look at and see the light and joy of Jesus! I want to set a positive example for everyone by the way I treat others, compete on the court, and carry myself everyday.

A Bible verse that is meaningful in my life is Micah 7:8 “Do not rejoice over me, my enemy! When I fall, I will rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.”

Andrew Billings

I have attended Trinity for 7 years now and have loved every minute of it! I run Cross Country and am heavily involved in the TCS Roaring Dramatics.

My parents have definitely had the greatest influence on my life. I am beyond grateful for them and their choice to put me at this school where I can grow and thrive as a student, athlete, and Christian.

To me being an ambassador for Trinity on homecoming court means that I have made real connections with my classmates over my years at Trinity. For them to choose me means that they believe I represent the class of 2027 well and that is a huge honor!

One Bible verse that has stuck with me through this last year and that has been a prayer on my heart is Psalm 19:14- "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be upright and pleasing in your sight O Lord my Rock and my Redeemer." I want what I say, and what I carry in my heart to build others up, reflect Christ's love, and be pleasing to the Lord. Thank you Trinity!

I am very grateful to be representing our school on homecoming court. It’s a dream come true, and I’m so excited to represent my class.

My meaningful Bible verse is Romans 8:28, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."

It means the world to me to be an ambassador for my school. I don’t take this opportunity for granted and I am so grateful to be able to represent the senior class and Trinity as a whole.

A bible verse that is meaningful in my life: please write out the verse Psalm 73:26: "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever".

Taylor Clark

I have attended TCS for 6 years and am involved in NHS, Beta Club, Student Council, Troupe 8184, Cross-country, Sports Medicine, and Theater.

My parents have had the greatest influence on who I am today. They are the most servant-hearted people that I know. They have raised me to love Jesus with all that I am, and have filled my life with joy and constant truth. They encourage me and guide me in everything that I do and my prayer is that I grow up to be just like them.

Trinity will always hold a special place in my heart. The family that I have found here is such a blessing from the Lord. We are called to be ambassadors of Christ and Trinity prepares us to do just that. Being an ambassador of our school means to represent Trinity well, love the people of Trinity well, and be an example for everyone. Our actions have so much meaning and our words hold so much power. We are called to be a light in this dark world and show others the heart of God through the way we live.

My favorite verse is Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." This is so meaningful to me because I know that the Lord is always working for my good and His glory! I have a purpose and that is to lead others to Jesus through the way I serve people.

The person who has had the greatest influence on my life and who I am today is my dad. He has been my constant guide, always leading by example and showing me what it looks like to live a life lead by faith. He's taught me the importance of kindness, integrity, and putting Christ at the center of everything I do, I'm so grateful for the way he's shaped who I am today.

I am beyond thankful to have been chosen to represent our school, it means so much to me. I consider it a huge privilege, and I want to do my best to showcase the kindness, spirit, and love that makes our community so special, and most of all do it all for the glory of the Lord.

Bible verse: Psalm 23:4-6 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."

Hannah Joy Fitzgerald

This is my second year at TCS and I serve on our Chapel Worship Team, am a member of the Theatre Troupe, Annual Fund, and Sports Media team. Outside of school, I also serve on our Church and Youth groups worship team.

My grandmother has had the greatest influence on who I am today. She was my best friend and a second mother to me, and she taught me so much about love, faith, and how to care for the people around me. Even though she is no longer here, the impact she had on my life continues to shape who I am and who I hope to become.

To me being an ambassador of Trinity means representing the school that has truly become a home to me. Although this is only my second year at Trinity, the impact that Trinity has had on my life is something I will forever keep close to my heart. Being a part of this family has been one of the biggest blessings in my life, and it has strengthened my faith and helped me grow into the person I am today. I am so thankful for the teachers, students, and friendships that have made me feel so welcomed and loved even being so far away from home. To me, being an ambassador means carrying that same kindness, faith, and love with me wherever I go. I want to do my very best to reflect the values and spirit of Trinity that has given me so much.

My favorite bible verse is 2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Colin DePriest

I have been at TCS for 13 years and serve on Student Council, Beta Club, Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, and as an Annual Fund ambassador. I also play Varsity football and Golf as well as Soccer.

The biggest influence in my life are my Poppy’s. Though one has already passed, he showed me so much by showing that you can still have joy in hard times even though he was battling cancer, he was still smiling. I know he’s in a better place now, but I want him to know that he left the world as an influence and mentor to many. I want to thank my Poppy’s for always teaching me to work hard for what you want and to put Christ in the center of all of it. I also want to thank my parents for all of the time and money spent on me from keeping me healthy when I was little to getting me to 5:50am workouts with the football guys. Also, my big brothers Dylan and Connor and my little sister Emma have influenced me. They show me how to be a good person, a Christian, and how to be good at sports. I want to thank Emma for giving me opportunities to work on my patience and to not just try to be the tough guy but to be the sweet big brother too. And to all my friends, thank you for being such good influences to me. I can’t wait to see us grow this year.

To me to be an ambassador of our school means to be a Christian who is bold in our faith and know that there is no good without God and that we can’t walk through life alone. As a Christian school, we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the way that we walk and conduct ourselves in our everyday lives. All of the ambassadors on Homecoming court are great at showing that. I feel that God is moving through our school and you can see the Holy Spirit in each and every person.

My favorite Bible verse is Romans 8:18 (ESV) “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revolved to us.”

Payton Keroack

I have attended TCS for 6 years and am involved in Student Council, where I serve as President; Beta Club, where I serve as an officer; Theater at Trinity and The Legacy Theater; Troupe 8184, where I serve as Social Media Manager; National Honor Society; the Sports Media Team; and the High School Annual Funds Ambassadors Club, where I serve as President.

My parents have had the greatest influence on the person I am today. They have always been people I can look up to and have taught me the importance of working hard and treating others with kindness. They are always there to encourage and support me, while also pushing me to become the best version of myself. I am incredibly grateful for the example they have set for me and the impact they continue to have on my life.

Being an ambassador of Trinity means representing our school and the values that make it so special. To me, it is about being someone who makes others feel welcomed, included, and excited to be a part of the Trinity community. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent a school that has played such a big role in shaping who I am, and I hope to reflect Christ through the way I lead, serve, and treat the people around me.

My favorite Bible verse is Luke 12:27 - “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.”

I love this verse because it reminds me of how much care God puts into every detail of His creation. If He takes the time to care for something as simple as the flowers, I can trust that He is also taking care of me and has a purpose for my life. It reminds me not to worry so much about what is ahead, but instead to trust God and the plan He has for me.

Chase Porter

I have attended TCS for 6 years and am involved in baseball, golf, NHS, Student Council, and Beta Club.

I would say the person who has had the greatest influence on the person I am today is my mom. She has taught me how to love others, be resilient, and do everything to the best of my abilities.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to serve others and reflect the image of Christ by being an ambassador on court. To be an ambassador of the school means to represent Kindness, integrity, and a Christ-centered attitude. Serving on this court allows me to serve others, show Christ through me, and reflect the community of Trinity Christian School. It's an honor to be chosen by my peers and to stand among my well-deserving friends.

My favorite bible verse is Psalms 90:12. It states, "So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." I love this verse because it is a reminder that all of our days are numbered. God gives us a limited amount of time, Wisdom is learning how to use that time for things that matter.
