Former Muenster High School Homecoming Queens were recognized before the Hornet Homecoming game in celebration of Muenster ISD’s proud traditions and community spirit.

In attendance was Kenya Hall Endres, the 1975 MHS Homecoming Queen, escorted by Student Council member Colton L. Kenya has been married to her high school sweetheart, Bob Endres, for 48 years. She devoted most of her career to caring for others as a home health aide, helping elderly patients feel comfortable and independent in their own homes. Kenya shared that it was a privilege to be part of their lives and to know that, in some small way, she made each day a little easier for them.

Now retired, Kenya embraces her favorite role as “Grandma Sparkles” to eight wonderful grandchildren. She loves being involved in their lives - offering advice, lending a helping hand, and cheering them on every step of the way.

Muenster ISD would also like to recognize the following former Homecoming Queens who could not be in attendance:

• 1965 – Peggy Gobble

• 1985 – Dolly Pagel Porter

• 1995 – Hollie Fuhrmann

• 2005 – Jace Koelzer

• 2015 – Courtney Stevens

We are proud to honor these remarkable women who continue to represent the spirit, dedication, and tradition of Muenster ISD.

Muenster ISD Alumni from 1955, 1965, 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005, 2015, 2025 were also honored at the Hornet Homecoming game.
