JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Fletcher High School students made Wednesday night's homecoming game a dream come true for a special young lady running for queen.

Cara Stieglitz, a down syndrome student at the school, won the queen's title at Fletcher's homecoming game.  Jesse Hughes will wear the king's crown.

Students banded together to nominate and eventually vote for Stieglitz, who thought the world of being nominated.  "It would be so much fun to be homecoming queen," Stieglitz said.

Teachers at Fletcher High said Cara has mainstreamed into several elective classes, and also serves as an executive intern to one of the school's assistant principals.

"She's a very serious student. She works very hard. She always completes her work. And sometimes it will take her a bit longer to finish, but she won't stop, she'll take it home and finish it. Super hardworking girl," said Fletcher High teacher, Amy Minton.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- "Back in my day, school sure was different."

Local community and business leaders throughout Jacksonville will be able to find out just how different things are today when they become Principal for a Day.

Monday, Duval County Public Schools are inviting the members of the private sector into the schools to show them how the schools today are run, and what role school leadership plays.

The hope is that fostering a closer relationship between schools and the community will translate into better performance from students.
