With yet another homecoming come and gone, a new king and queen were welcomed to the throne, crowned on November 8 by lasts year’s queen, Cecelia Hicks. The newly inducted royalty were elected by their peers to represent the best of Chamblee, and they are both excited about the opportunity to do so. These students need no introduction, but here they are: the 2019 CCHS Homecoming royalty.
