"Homecoming King" is a title awarded to a male student during a school's homecoming festivities, typically in high school or college. This event celebrates school spirit and often includes a parade, football game, and various activities. The Homecoming King is usually elected by the student body, recognizing qualities such as leadership, popularity, and involvement in school activities. The Homecoming King often participates in the homecoming parade and is crowned during halftime at the football game. This title is often paired with a Homecoming Queen, who is a female student selected in a similar manner. Together, they represent the school's spirit and community during the celebrations.
