At many high schools in the United States, the month of May is packed with activities, but at Paris High School there is a special event held each year just for the senior girls. May Fete is a night full of fun and dance to celebrate the seniors. There is even a court for May Fete, which awards one of the senior girls a crown and the right to call themselves May Fete Queen. This year the Paris High School May Fete court is made up of eight girls, including Millie Arp, Alex Bayless, Shelby Evinger, Callie Keys, Jessica Rose, Katrisha Sexton, Serena Wells, and Danielle Newcomer.
