Kee High School’s 2024 Homecoming will kick off with public coronation ceremony this Sunday afternoon ...

For the second consecutive year, Kee High School in Lansing will kick off the celebration of its Homecoming Week with the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen taking place at the beginning of the Homecoming Week, rather than during the previously traditional Friday afternoon pep rally event. This Sunday, September 15, Kee High School’s Homecoming King and Queen for 2024 will be crowned at a ceremony beginning at 5:45 p.m. in the Kee High School gym, in conjunction with a “Lighting of the K” event also taking place as part of Homecoming Week 2024, with those events being open to the public. The switch to the Sunday afternoon coronation event prior to Homecoming Week getting underway was made last year in an effort to “have our King and Queen preside over the entire week of Homecoming, rather than just the final half-day,” Kee High School Homecoming faculty sponsors explained.

Even though the coronation event is taking place this Sunday, this year’s Homecoming Court of Kee High School seniors and underclassman attendants will still be formally presented, including recognition of this year’s crowned Homecoming King and Queen, at 1:30 p.m. Friday, September 20, at the traditional pep rally event being held in the Kee High School gym. The parade is also still scheduled to take place that Friday afternoon, beginning at 2:30 p.m., both starting and ending at Kee High School and traveling both Main Street and Center Street. Look for additional details on the Kee High School Homecoming celebratory pages being printed in next week’s (September 18) edition of The Standard.
