On behalf of D.M. Therrell High School, I would like to thank you for your interest in our annual Homecoming Court competition. The Homecoming Court is a part of the annual homecoming festivities at THS. The purpose of the court is to recognize members of the student body who make invaluable contributions to the THS community and represent the core ideals of D.M. Therrell High School as student leaders. These individuals are identified by their peers, faculty, and staff. Throughout the week of Homecoming, they are expected to be present at various Homecoming activities and serve as ambassadors of school spirit and pride as a Therrell Panther. The true purpose of the Homecoming Court is to bring students together as one student body.
