2023 TCS Homecoming COurt

By Samantha DePriest

The 2023 HOCO Week at Trinity Christian School has come and gone but the memories of one of our favorite weeks of the year will remain with us. Each year our Homecoming Court representatives are selected by the high school student body as leaders among their peers. The court representatives are a wonderful group of students who are all very involved in both in school and extra curricular activities as well as in their communities and churches. Each of them represent TCS very well and serve as excellent role models for our student body.

On Friday night at the Homecoming football game, our king and queen were crowned and we couldn’t be more excited to share that seniors Caroline McPherson and Phoenix Moss were honored as the 2023 TCS Homecoming king and queen.

Caroline McPherson, 2023 TCS Homecoming queen, is excelling in a rigorous academic schedule in AP and advanced classes. She is very involved in both Varsity cheer and tennis. She holds leadership positions in Student Council and BETA Club. She also is a member of the National Honor Society. Caroline will be attending college in the fall to major in Finance and Communications. Nancy McPherson, Caroline’s Mom shares “Caroline is blessed to call TCS home! She is surrounded by teachers, mentors, and friends who encourage her walk with Christ.!” Varsity Cheer coach Gale Hickman shares, “We are so excited to see our sweet Caroline crowned as Homecoming Queen this year. If you don’t know Caroline, you’re missing out. She is so deserving of this crown and the opportunity to represent Trinity. She is kind, caring, and most of all loves the Lord. We could not be more proud of her.”

Phoenix Moss, 2023 TCS Homecoming king, maintains excellent grades in the classroom and competes on both our Varsity football and track teams. He has already committed to the Naval Academy. Mrs. Layne Moss, Phoenix’s stepmom shares, “Just more confirmation that he is where he is supposed to be. He’s in a place where he is valued and loved. That’s what we pray for. We are incredibly happy for him.” Varsity Football Coach Josh Henry shares, “Phoenix is a guy who hasn’t been at TCS a super long time, but he has made a great impact. I’m blessed enough to get to have a 1 on 1 relationship with Phoenix through being his position coach on the football team, but if there was something I would want the Trinity community to know, it would be that Phoenix Moss is much more than the incredible athlete you see on the field on Friday nights in the Fall and on the track in Spring. Phoenix is a fierce competitor that puts others before himself, and truly carry’s the Joy of the Lord with him everyday. He always has a smile on his face and leads by example. Phoenix personifies everything Trinity is about with his athletic accomplishments, academic success, incredible character, and constant pursuit of growing in his Faith. I consider it my honor to have gotten the opportunity to coach and know Phoenix Moss over the last few years because I am a better person our school is a better place for him being there. That is why he is a great representative of Trinity as the 2023 Homecoming King.”
