Meet the student section leaders

Sean Reynolds and Adam Hobbs, seniors, lead Homestead’s student section every Friday night at varsity football games. Being a student section leader involves many duties: managing the student section Facebook page, organizing and announcing dress-up themes, leading cheers at the games, giving halftime speeches to the students and overall trying to improve the student body’s camaraderie.
