“I am the Class of 2015 President and President of the Gay Straight Alliance.”

What would winning Homecoming King mean to you?

“If I won Homecoming King, it would not only bring me much happiness but would also remind me of how fortunate I am. I go to a school where I can be who I am every day. I am openly gay and the Class President, which in itself is a huge accomplishment. If I won King I would not only be the first person on the court to bring a same-sex date, but the first openly gay Knight at North Penn, which shows how accepting North Penn has become. It’ll be proud moment for myself and my family, but also the community.”
