They had the honor of becoming the royalty of high school and winning the crown of a homecoming queen! Just take a look at these 7 celebrities who were homecoming queens.

2 Jessica Simpson
Before Jessica Simpson was a huge celebrity, she was one of the most popular girls at J.J. Pierce High School in Texas. She got the chance to win the title of a homecoming princess two years in a row and let’s face it, if she didn’t drop out of high school to pursue her career she would have probably won many more crowns year after year!
3 Rosie O’Donnell
Believe it or not but Rosie O’Donnell was a complete Ms. Popular at Commack High School. Not only did she win the crown of a homecoming queen and prom queen but she also held the title of senior class president and even class clown! Her social game was on point at all times!
4 Katharine McPhee
Katharine McPhee was not the one to sit quietly in the background during her high school years. She actively participated in extracurricular activities by joining the swimming team and becoming vice president. She was also nominated for a homecoming princess and even received a much bigger honor! Her school officially named the day she returned from American Idol as “Katharine McPhee Day.” Now that is something that doesn't happen to every student!
5 Halle Berry
Halle Berry was a multiple threat in high school! She was the class president, editor of the school newspaper and the captain of the cheerleading squad. She even won the title of prom queen but was later accused of cheating. Later the accusations were proven to be false and she regained her title after a coin was flipped to be fair.
6 Heather Morris
Heather Morris was not too different from her Glee character in real life. Her peers loved her, she was popular and she was voted to be a Homecoming Queen at her high school in 2005. Well we shouldn’t be surprised, she does have a beautiful personality that just exudes light and positivity.
7 Meryl Streep
Back in high school, Meryl Streep was a typical teenage girl. Although she repeatedly claimed to be awkward in school, she was actually part of the cheerleading squad and the homecoming queen of Bernardsville High School in 1967. So much for being awkward and dorky!
