Homecoming 2022

This year's Homecoming Week began with recognition of Moorcroft's athletes and with the inclusion of seventh and eighth grades into the secondary school. To this end, the celebration of school sports embraced rodeo and Special Olympics as well. Principal Nicholas Redden summed this season's changes up in a sentence: "Coming into this, we need to build the mindset that all of our students are here, it doesn't matter whether they're junior high or high school – we're all Moorcroft Secondary." After uplifting speeches from the fall season's coaches and a great deal of applause from the audience, the main event was at hand. Redden explained to students and parents alike that the King and Queen represent all of the students of Moorcroft Secondary School, "the athletes, fine arts [and] students who do everything on the outside." After introducing each candidate and crown bearers, James Long was crowned King and Camlyn Connally, Queen of the 2022 Homecoming celebration.
