When being asked about her initial reaction to winning the title of Homecoming Queen, Jaimee expressed how unreal it felt to her at the moment.

“When I heard my name being called for homecoming queen, I honestly believed that she was just repeating names,” she chuckled. “I had to make sure I was smiling not laughing, but overall it was truly a blessing and I’m grateful for my friends and supporters at CHS.”

One of her favorite memories during homecoming week was spending the morning together with Hoco Court in the process creating a stronger bond with each other. Getting the opportunity to walk out during the homecoming prep rally with one of her biggest supporters “Jaylen Shaw” made this entire event more memorable and less nerve racking for her.
