Rapper Eminem's 17 year old daughter, Hailie Scott was crowned Homecoming Queen at Chippewa Valley High school in Clinton Township, Michigan.

Her famous father was actually ON SITE during the crowning. He was reportedly being held inside of the school so he could see the crowning of his daughter without "stealing her moment."
Now that's love, baby. One parent said Eminem was beaming with pride even though he was keeping out of sight. “He opened the door and looked out like - ‘That’s my daughter!’ He just looked like a proud father,” the parent said. Eminem has publicly announced his love and devotion for his daughter through his music. Hailie's voice was even included when she was a little girl on his track “My Dad’s Gone Crazy,” in 2002.
This story is super close to home to me (no pun intended) because Chippewa Valley was my high school, and I myself was once Homecoming queen there. This is such an exciting moment for Hailie and I think it is a beautiful thing that Chippewa is getting some good publicity. Hailie Scott is known and loved by her entire student body, and not because of her famous father. But, simply because of her involvement in the school and her positive attitude toward others. "I think all of the kids in the district have shown respect to their family and just let her live a normal life here out of the spotlight." One parent said. "I think that speaks very highly of the Chippewa Valley community to not try to take advantage of their fame."
Not to mention, they also had an incredible Homecoming King, Tyler Knepp. A self-described nerd who loves music and star trek. Tyler has lived down the street from me for years, and comes from a beautiful family! In fact, in a brief interview I had with Tyler, he said he will be playing Edna Turnblad in the school's upcoming musical, a member Varsity choir, a member of a band called Escape Plan (which he has been in for 5 years by the way), and has big plans for his future!

Chippewa Valley School district is a great community with incredible students. This year's homecoming queen and king surely represent Chippewa the way it should be represented. Congratulations Hailie Scott and Tyler Knepp, you deserve it!
