The role of Homecoming King is a role that is supposed to be reflective of the school. Through community involvement and leadership, the Homecoming King is more often than not someone who sticks out from the crowd. With a reputation for dedication and involvement, Logan Moore (12) represents what homecoming is all about.
Just being elected onto Homecoming court at all has been a huge honor for Moore. Having his peers vote for him to be one of the ten nominees out of the hundreds of students in his grade has made him even more grateful for his classmates.
“It means quite a bit. Not just because, I wouldn’t say it’s being popular, but being well known by a lot of my peers and having them, you know, pick me out of the bunch of guy names there are. So, it kind of means quite a bit,” Moore said.
Moore stays well involved in school, both academically and socially. His initiative and his commitment to everything he does keep Moore always looking for ways that he can be active at school.
“I’ve been involved in the school by NHS, singers, swim, journalism, and for the students, doing the student section, running that, and really just getting everybody involved in the sports or the out-of-school stuff,” Moore said.
Moore hopes to have an impact on others through leading by example. Moore values the community that he has found through his involvement and hopes that those same feelings of community continue to thrive even after he graduates.
”I hope to have the impact of creating that community. I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t care if my name wasn’t remembered in the next five years, but I would want to make that community, I would want to create a community in that sense of where it keeps going on and on and on. Just by singers, NHS, or with the student section, just really creating that sense where it’s like, ‘Oh, that’s what we have to do every year because, you know, that’s what we’ve always done,’” Moore said.
After he graduates this May, Moore plans to attend college. He is still undecided on both the university he wants to attend and what he would like to major in, but he is still excited for the next chapter of his life.
”I think my plans after high school are going to college for sure. I’m not sure of what I want to study as of right now. I want to do chemical engineering, either to go into being a patent lawyer or into medical school. Not really sure yet,” Moore said.
While he is always looking forward to the future, Moore is still grateful for his past four years and all of the lessons he was provided from that time.
“From high school, I’ve learned that not everything is going to end your way. Things change, and you have to adapt and just really like push through. You’ve just got to push through. And high school has given me the opportunity to really adapt and really just drive to be greater than myself. You know, I am myself, but also being better than myself is the goal. So just being someone better is really what has driven me to what I’ve learned from high school,” Moore said.
