Kee High School’s 2026 Homecoming will kick off with public coronation, “Lighting of the K” this Sunday ...

The Homecoming festivities at Kee High School in Lansing will kick off the celebration of Homecoming Week with the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen taking place this Sunday, September 20. Kee High School’s Homecoming King and Queen for 2026 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 Sunday’s kick-off event for Homecoming Week 2026, with both events being open to the public.

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 p.m. next Friday, September 25, 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 23) edition of The Standard.
