Congratulations to King and Queen, Tracyn Bollig and Sienna Schmidt, who were crowned at our football game on Friday. Ellis High School had a fantastic week celebrating homecoming! The overall spirit winners were the sophomores from the Class of 2028. The senior class won for the best float, which featured a Disney Cars theme. The faculty and staff came together as a strong team and easily defeated all the student classes in volleyball. It was a fantastic week to be a Railer!
