Girl With Down Syndrome Named Homecoming Queen

Reporting
Carol Cavazos
ALEDO (CBS 11 / TXA 21) ― Kristen Pass never met a stranger she didn't like.  She's always hugging or text messaging someone.

But she could only imagine of ever becoming homecoming queen.



Friday night, the 18-year-old Aledo High School senior with down syndrome received the crown.  She hasn't taken it off since.  

"It's extremely special, it's been a wonderful community, a very supportive community.  They have been good friends to Kristen" says her mother Carolyn.



One hundred of those friends at Aledo High nominated her.   

Kristen only wisher her father could be there.  He died two years ago, so her grandfather, Dr. David Campbell, escorted her down the field.



For Kristen, it was a night she no longer imagines.
