Each day of spirit week, the principals chose a winner for the person who showed the most school spirit during spirit week. The student or staff member who showed the most school spirit the entire week won a prize of $20.
“Winning best dressed made me feel happy. I like dressing up and I put a lot of effort into that costume,” Marie Strader, family and consumer science teacher at MCHS, and a winning contestant, said. “Over 15 years I’ve accumulated a lot of different costumes, so it's nice to wear them again.”
Kylie Kimbrough won homecoming queen. Kimbrough wore a sparkly white dress, and cherry red heels.
“It was very exciting but I would have been just as excited if any of the other two contestants won,” Kimbrough said. “I feel like the students showed a lot more school spirit than they have in the past.”
