Saucon Valley’s 2017 Homecoming Queen is Olivia Gardiner.
Although the final result of Friday night’s football game versus rival Southern Lehigh wasn’t what Saucon fans had hoped for, the annual Homecoming game was still a fun-filled family event, and included the crowning of the 2017 Homecoming queen.
Senior Olivia Gardiner was honored with the title, which was announced during the game during an on-field ceremony in which she received her sash and crown from last year’s queen, Madison Stump.

At school she has participated in cross country (4 years), track and field (5 years), band (9 years), choir (7 years) and musical theater (2 years).
Her future goals include attending college and majoring in nursing, traveling and working in clinics in underprivileged countries. She said she would then like to settle down, get married and raise a family.
Her best Saucon moments have included the band and choir trip to Disneyworld and creating special memories with her best friends.
