On Friday, March 21st, Cole Gilcret, ‘25, and Chloe Seals, ‘25, won this year’s Mr. and Mrs. Ranger Pageant. 

Winning a title in the Mr. Ranger Pageant is not just about wearing a crown; it’s a reflection of dedication, hard work, and a commitment to representing the values of the community. 

The joy and pride of being recognized in such a competitive environment cannot be overstated. 

Cole Gilcret, ‘25, shares how he feels about winning this year’s Mr. Ranger Pageant. 

Gilcret says, “Oh, it was super surreal, you know? I didn’t expect to get Mr Ranger, so to be able to have that title was pretty awesome.” 

When the winners take the stage, they are up there representing what club they were nominated for.  

Each winner embodies unique qualities that resonate with the audience, making their category special to them. 

Kelan Anderson, ‘25, says, “I felt honored. It was a fun one. I got Mr. Charming and it was cool to get it.” 

In addition to Mr. Ranger’s pageant, the exciting week leading up to the assembly gave the winners a chance to participate in fun dress-up days and engaging lunchtime activities. 

Cody Burton, ‘25, shares his favorite part of the Mr. Ranger week. 

Burton says, “Probably just all the lunchtime activities and spending time with the other nominees. It was fun.”

Jake Bettencourt, ‘25, also adds, “Definitely, the day where we were like, chained to each other and had to pull that one another.” 

During the pageant, each nominee showcased a talent that truly reflected their unique personality.  

Javion Richardson, ‘25, shares his favorite part of the assembly.

Richardson says, “I’d say my part whenever I did a talent thing. Yeah, because it took a while to practice it. I learned it the night before, and the practices showed.”
