Marion High School honored its 2026 Homecoming Court Friday at Southern Bancorp Stadium, presenting 13 young women before the Patriots’ home football game against Sheridan. Senior Rayah Hinton was named Homecoming Queen.
The court included four sophomore maids, four junior maids, and five senior maids, including the queen. Members were selected through a structured process: MHS staff nominated students who meet GPA, activity, and discipline requirements, and all high school students then voted. The young women on this year’s court reflect the citizenship and leadership found throughout the Marion High School student body.
