Clermont Northeastern High School senior Kelly Dorsey is in the running to become Ohio’s Homecoming Queen.

Dorsey, 18, was invited, qualified, and recently selected as a finalist to compete in the annual state Homecoming Queen contest after taking home the honor (and the crown) at Clermont Northeastern High School last fall.

Kelly Dorsey will compete in Dayton this weekend against the top 10 percent of all state homecoming queens for a chance to represent Ohio and advance to the America’s Homecoming Queen contest in August.

“I am exited and certainly flattered to have been selected,” she said. “It is a wonderful opportunity.”
