As the Pen Argyl Area High School year continues PAHS students had another opportunity to come together outside of the classroom. On Saturday October 10 the annual homecoming event brought students and faculty together to experience school spirit and tradition. Although the dance was the highlight of the week, the excitement started long before that night.
Kristen Palenchar, Student Government advisor, noticed some of the hard work behind the scenes saying, “We want to make sure the ticket sales are as smooth as possible. We're also looking to get some decorations, and have the homecoming pep rally, which we also have exciting games that we are planning.”
As the dance was approaching members of Student Government organized different activities throughout the Homecoming week. Each day leading up to dance had a specific theme which included Movie Monday, Twin Tuesday, Western Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Green Knights Friday.

Students gather in the gymnasium to witness the crowning of the 2026 Homecoming King. Nolan Gerencser, principal, offically presented the crown to Reid Kotulka.
Ednan Gegov, Student Government member said, “Our main goal is to entertain the students and make them have more fun.”
On Green Knight Friday all students came together in the A-wing gymnasium to attend a pep rally where Reid Kotulka was crowned Homecoming King.
On Saturday October 10, Kayla Gloth, senior, was crowned Homecoming Queen at the Pen Argyl vs Catasauqua football game. The homecoming dance took place later that evening.
Gloth showed her appreciation by saying, “It feels really good to win and knowing that I have a lot of support from my friends and from others in the community.”
The dance provided students with a night of taking pictures, laughing and dancing with friends, and taking the time to enjoy the night together with everyone. Although the night eventually came to an end the memories will forever remain with the students for the rest of the school year.
