This year, the Homecoming theme was “That 70s at GWC” Throughout the week the Associated students sponsored a variety of activities to carry on the theme. Some of the activities included spirit games, music, a photo booth, and prizes.
The Homecoming Court process started with elections held on campus. The top five candidates in each category were named the Homecoming Court. On October 2, the court presented themselves before a panel of judges who rated them in several categories and the queen and king were determined by the highest overall scores by the judges.
The finalists, who will now serve as princes and princesses, are (l-r) Katie Fredrickson, Emilio Torres, Patricia Manzanares, Dale Lendrum, Sasha Achrem, Jeremy Flores, Lizbett Rodriguez, and Brandon Ngo.
