Saturday, May 23rd, Mineral Wells High School was host to royalty. In the 85th annual Coronation ceremony, two MWHS seniors were crowned King and Queen in front of their peers and community, as voted on by their peers at MWHS. King Andy Tristan and Queen Alexis Valley-Ramirez were crowned following the Royal Court and Court of Beauty presentation by fellow students Makenzie Lawhon and Emilio Infante during the ceremony.
