The 2023 Homecoming celebrations are underway at DeKalb County High School this week, with everything leading up to Friday when the Homecoming Parade will make its way through downtown Smithville. Overseeing the events will be this year’s Homecoming Queen, Sadie Anne Moore.
DCHS announced Moore as Homecoming Queen last Thursday afternoon, along with her attendants. Moore is the 18-year-old daughter of Chris and Holly Moore, and has served as the FCA President for two years and been a member for four years. She is also in the Spanish Club, Beta Club, Science Club, and Service Society Club, and has been the DCHS Football Tech Manager for four years.
Sadie’s parents are the pastors at the Smithville Church of God, where she is active with her youth group, and the worship team every Sunday playing the piano and singing. She also helps with her church in community outreach. This involves helping serve the middle and high school teachers in appreciation for all their hard work. Sadie serves families during Christmas time, who are struggling to make ends meet by providing dinner and gifts for Christmas.
