On Feb. 13, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., Stroudsburg High School (SHS) will host its annual King of Hearts (KOH) dance run by the SHS student government. Similarly to Homecoming, the nominee voting will be held on Monday, Feb. 2, and the winner will be announced at the dance. The school’s favorite boy will be named “King of Hearts.”  The Student Government is behind all of the backstage endeavors when it comes to the dance. All officers are involved with setting up the cafeteria before and also taking down all decorations after the dance. They are in charge of paying for all the music, which means hiring a DJ, and extra entertainment using funds from dress downs leading up to the dance, and also ticket sales. Another big part of the dance is all of the light decorations. Officers spend much time setting up and detangling lights.
