            Junior Joshua Houchins was named homecoming king and Junior Julia Albrecht was named homecoming queen of 2015.
            Along with being the newly crowned homecoming king, following the footsteps of Malic Matthews who won the crown in 2014, Houchins is also involved in Crete Monee’s mixed show choir group Cavaliers, wrestling, and theatre where he often has major roles.

Josh says that he really enjoys being homecoming king because now, people who didn’t know him before now do. He said that he got butterflies while walking with the homecoming queen, Julia Albrecht.
            Senior Taylor McKnight said of course she knew him and how handsome he is. She said she has been crushing on him since the eighth grade.
            “He’s funny, cool, school spirited and very caring. I have seen Joshua at the football games with a lot of school spirit. He has a lot of paint with our school colors all over his body with no shirt on,” said Taylor. “Every time I see him with no shirt on I would tell him to put a shirt on before he gets sick. “

            Justin Pierce does not know who Joshua is but he heard things about him like he is always at the games with a lot of blue and gold on.

            Mr. Mohr stated that junior Julia Albrecht, the homecoming queen, is a top-notch student because she is dedicated to Crete in many ways. She is the dance captain in show choir, part of student government, and National Honors Society.  

            “Without Julia Albrecht there wouldn’t have been a homecoming dance nor a pep rally during homecoming week,” said Mohr.

Overall Joshua’s and Julia’s popularity has seemed to increase after their crowning on
