Minerva High School is ready to light up the night as it prepares to crown its 2025 Homecoming King and Queen on Friday, September 26th, before the Lions' football game against West Branch. The excitement is building with this year's theme: "Neon Nights." The festivities will kick off earlier in the day with a traditional homecoming assembly for the student body.
Meet the Distinguished 2025 Fall Homecoming Court
This year's homecoming court features an impressive group of seniors, each showcasing dedication to academics, athletics, and community involvement.
The Queen Candidates include five outstanding young women:

Finally, Miss Rachel Weaver, daughter of Matthew & Amy Weaver, is the current FFA President and a member of the Soccer, Wrestling, and Softball teams. Rachel plans to continue her softball career at the collegiate level while majoring in Secondary Mathematics Education.
The King Candidates are equally distinguished:
Mr. David Bryan, son of Jack and Heather Bryan, is the Debate Club President and Senior Class Vice President, heavily involved in MHS music groups (Marching, Concert, Steel Drum, and Jazz Bands). David plans to major in Cyber Security and Criminal Justice at The University of Mount Union.
Mr. Julian Elliott, son of Joshua and Jessica Elliott, is the Drum Major of the Marching Band and Vice President of the National Honor Society. He is active in Cross Country and the Lion News Network. Julian plans to enlist in the National Guard or Air National Guard after graduation.
