Casey Faatiliga

For seniors you may remember him as the sophmore Homecoming prince back in 05’, but this year Casey Faatiliga took home the crown once again, only this time for Homecoming king. Some may know him as one of our three rally MC’s or simply because they’ve seen him around and about. “Usually the homecoming king is like the jock of the school and cocky, but that’s not me I’m more laid back,” Casey says. His involvement in school extra curricular activities varies from leadership, best buddies, to local shelter. Throughout his four years at Gunderson he’s contributed a lot in both his school work and school activities.“I’m down to earth, and I’m not your typical homecoming king.” Feeling that he wasn’t what people would consider your “ideal” Homecoming King didn’t seem to be the case because for the second time, he won!


Brittney Fosselman

“I felt that I wasn’t going to win because a lot of people see me as a mean person, and they don’t see me as the type of person to fit that positon,” says Brittney. For the first time, now in her senior year she took home the crown for this years Homecoming queen after taking a loss for prom queen as a Jr; which she plans to run for again this year. Brittney says that she feels that winning motivated her to run for more things in the future, even things beyond Gunderson because it showed her that she could actually win and not to doubt herself. She would also like to clear the air for those that felt that she kicked her sash and may have seemed a bit ungreatful. ““The sash broke as I was putting it on and I tried to put it on with my foot and people assumed that I kicked it.” Brittney also stated that she’d like to thank all the people who voted for her!


Breanna Willburn

This years homecoming princess was none other than Breanna Willburn. Not feeling that she would win because “the same people always win” Breanna was happy not only because someone else wone, but because that someone was her. “It was great, and I couldn’t believe I won. I got excited, I was estatic.” Breanna says. With hopes of being a Probation officer, Breanna plans to finish her highschool education here at Gunderson. Not only did winning homecoming princess motivate her to stirive hard, but it motivated her to go above and beyond for other things in life such as Americas Next Top Model which she plans to go for in the future.
