High School Votes Special Needs Students As Homecoming King And Queen (Video)

, , , ,

Dunwoody High School takes pride in each and every one of its students. That includes those who are differently abled.

On October 11, the school near Atlanta announced its Homecoming King and Queen. Hannah Keen and Gus Ashbury, grinning broadly, accepted their new titles.

Both are special needs students, and reportedly, some of the most popular kids in school. The pair was elected from a class of 1,200.

Tom McFerrin, Dunwoody’s principal, told NBC the election reflects the school’s spirit.

That’s what we’re all about here… Be good people and do good things in this world.

The video is one of many recent reports from schools across the US that seem to indicate a compassionate new wave of teenagers who respect one another, regardless of disability or popularity.
