Sixteen Penn Manor High School seniors recently competed for the title of 2022 homecoming king or queen while raising money for Loft Community Partnership, which provides clothing, food and household supplies to Penn Manor families in need.

Mia Anger and Sean Hoffman were crowned queen and king, respectively, at halftime of Penn Manor's homecoming football game against Daniel Boone Area High School on Oct. 7 at Millersville University's Biemesderfer Stadium. In addition to Anger, the candidates for homecoming queen were Isabelle Kligge, Lauren Stoner, Reagan Webster, Allison Burkholder, Annaliese Mann, Liv Cox and Carly Keene. In addition to Hoffman, the king candidates were Andrew Forrest, Clark Wagstaff, Eli Warfel, Quay Hanna Jr., Jordan Martin, Noah Bolin and Tyler Hostetter.

Also during homecoming week, Penn Manor hosted a Fall Fest from 5 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 5 in the high school auxiliary gymnasium. The event featured a DJ, yard games, a bounce house, an obstacle course, face painting, bracelet-making and a small basket giveaway drawing. Food was available for purchase from student-run stands and food trucks.

Prior to the homecoming football game, the school held an alumni open house, during which Penn Manor alumni and retired staff members and their families were invited to explore the newly renovated high school. All alumni in attendance received a free ticket to the football game. A Comet Tailgate, open to the community, was held on the high school's turf area beginning at 5:30 p.m.

The homecoming dance was held on Oct. 8 in the high school cafeteria.
