Friday, Sept. 25 will be celebrated as Fall Homecoming in Escalon, with an afternoon parade, the football game hosting Ripon Christian and the crowning of a new Homecoming Queen at halftime of the varsity contest.

During the week there will be a number of theme days and fun activities, along with the naming of the underclassmen receiving recognition as royalty.

Those in the running for the Queen, Princess, Duchess, and Lady In Waiting were announced on Sept. 11, as well as treated to lunch.

Seniors vying for the title of Homecoming Queen 2026 will be Leigh Garside, Aniston Hunt, Payton Abbott, Elizabeth Castro and Miroslava Torres. Juniors selected as Princess hopefuls were Alexis Ciriello, Georgia Northcutt and Hailey Monteiro.

Sophomore girls named as Dutchess candidates were Cambria Morgan, Avery Bartelink and Eden Airola and the freshman Lady In Waiting candidates include Evelynn Strong, Nina Duenas and Paris Hernandez Fernandes.

Announcing the candidates well ahead of the Sept. 25 Homecoming and the week of events set Sept. 21 through the 25 allows them to prepare outfits and get ready for the dress up days and on campus activities planned throughout the week.
