Enjoy the featured photos of the previous Homecoming kings and queens! Please note that it wasn't always tradition to elect a Homecoming king which is why some of the earlier queens are pictured by themselves!
A special thank you to DDurb Productions for providing photos for the 2024 selection.
Rush County Schools would also like to recognize everyone who came together to make Homecoming possible, including our staff, volunteers, parents, and students. None of this would be possible without your help!
