If one were to think of Homecoming queen, typically the idea in mind would be bubbly blond popular girl. So, when senior Paige Fahringer was nominated, she was obviously very excited.

“I was shocked when I found out because I didn’t think I was well-known enough,” said Fahringer.

Fahringer’s extra-curricular activities include Interact, which she has been on since her freshman year and was the secretary last year. Alka Pandya, Interact’s co-advisor, said that Fahringer has been an active part during her years on Interact.

“She helped out a lot during the fundraising for the Chill Out, so she’s been really active,” said Pandya.
Fahringer has also been a part of the Gay-Straight Alliance since her freshman year, and she is part of the Zombie Survival Club.
Fahringer has been the singer of the pop-punk band We’re Just Wizards for four years, who performed in last year’s Battle of the Bands. She plans on continuing her music career after high school.

Even though Fahringer isn’t the typical Homecoming candidate, she says that she doesn’t think that there’s much that makes her unique from the crowd.

“I’m just myself,” said Fahringer.
