It is prom season and time for students to be crowned King and Queen of their student bodies. Two Bladen County students have shown great generosity during their reign.

West Bladen High School’s new Queen Sage McDonald and King Grayson White were crowned on Friday, which was Prom night for the school. However, they were not the first choice.

The student Knights originally voted Scott Bowen to be King and Alise Pait to be Queen, but the new royal pair had different plans. According to those in attendance, Bowen and Pait had big plans as their school’s reigning royalty. Many say Bowen and Pait set a fine example for all students.

Amy Schumacher, a teacher at West Bladen High School, said, “They asked to give up their crown to their chosen students.” Bowen and Pait decided to crown McDonald and White the new King and Queen.

The school’s Facebook page post had this to say about the unexpected outcome, “You hear, see and read about this happening all the time…but oh,….when it is your own…how your heart swells with pride and love…and how your eyes overflow with tears!! What could be more appropriate during this season of sacrifice and hope?”

Mrs. Peggy Hester, Principal posted, “Woke up this morning thinking about how proud I am of Scott Bowen and Alise Pait. I couldn’t ask for better seniors, and they represented that class of young men and women so well. I understand that the whole court had agreed to give their crowns away last night, so they all made two other very special students feel so loved. It’s a great day to be a Knight!”
