Courtney Lanae Martin, daughter of Jeffery and Treva Martin, has been selected as a finalist for Tennessee’s 24th Annual Homecoming Queen selection slated April 3 and 4 at the Nashville Marriott. She is this year’s homecoming queen at Warren County High School.

The finalist chosen as Tennessee’s 2004 Homecoming Queen will receive a cash scholarship plus an expense paid trip to the national finals to compete with queens from other states for America’s Homecoming Queen honors. This is not a beauty pageant but is more like an ambassadorship.

Following high school graduation, Martin plans to attend Cumberland University where she has already been awarded a scholarship to play on the university volley ball team. In addition to being selected WCHS homecoming queen, she is a member of the volley ball and track teams, National Honor Society and Interact Club. She was elected vice president of the senior class and is president of the Black History Club.

America’s Homecoming Queen is a non profit organization promoting education, educational travel and community service in schools in all 50 states.
