On January 30th, 2026, our Snowcoming king and queen were announced during halftime. Jayden Carpenter-Sattler and Grace Thorrez, the 2025 Snowcoming king and queen, returned to crown the newest members of CHS royalty.
Traditionally, the boys lined up first. Anticipation filled the air as Carpenter-Sattler waved the sash back and forth over the candidates’ heads. The crowd grew silent as the sash fell over Connor Stevens’ head. Once the sash was placed, cheers instantly erased the silence. Carpenter-Sattler handed a signed basketball to the new king, bearing all the Varsity boys’ signatures. When asked, Connor replied, “Being Snowcoming king means a lot to me. I’m really grateful people thought of me and voted for me. I didn’t expect to be king, so it is honestly an honor and makes me feel really supported. This title shows that people see me as someone they can respect and trust. Hopefully, they see me as a good person who tries to be positive and include everyone.” He also mentions, “Advice I would give to next year’s Snowcoming king is to be yourself and don’t let it get to your head. Appreciate it, but still treat everyone the same and stay involved. Make sure you’re representing the school in a good way.”
Once Connor was crowned, the queen candidates awaited their turn to find out who would be queen. Thorrez slowly floated the sash over all the candidates, but it suddenly stopped when the announcer spoke. Everyone’s eyes went wide when she suddenly placed the sash over the new 2026 queen, Julia Stevens. With a look of disbelief, Julia said, “In the beginning, I didn’t think I would get it because I feel like other people deserve it. I’m very grateful that people look up to me enough to give me this reward. I was very surprised and excited.”
No one was happier than their mom, Jaime Stevens. Jaime was so excited and happy that her kids had both won the title of king and queen. Jaime exclaimed, “I’m so proud; they are just such good humans.”
