A 17-year-old East Meck High School student has become the first transgender teen crowned Homecoming King in North Carolina.

Teacher Bill Allen is the student advisor for the Gay-Straight Alliance on campus.

He says East Meck is known as a school of diversity. He says Brockington's achievement is the first step in representing what many of the students believe.
