Owen Phariss on Friday night became the latest special-needs student to be crowned homecoming king, prompting an outpouring of cheers — and a few tears — in the stands and on the football field of his high school in Lawrence, Kan.
"It was probably one of the best moments of my life along with his, too," classmate Bailey Knowlton, 18, said. "I know he's going to remember this for the rest of his life."
Across the USA, students with special needs have been named homecoming kings and queens this fall after being integrated into classrooms and activities with other students in recent years.
