With Rachel’s peers selecting her to the homecoming court, we had to persuade Children’s Hospital to allow Rachel to attend the game just one month after she was shot. In what was an incredible show of support from both Thomas Worthington High School and the Worthington community, Rachel was welcomed back to her school with open arms.  A packed house came to their feet as Rachel was wheeled down the track by her boyfriend Mike and brother Joe.  A deafening applause erupted from the crowd as Rachel was announced Thomas Worthington's 2006-2007 homecoming queen.
