Events

Spirit Week

Throughout the course of a year, each class earns spirit points that are assessed at the end of the year. To earn points, students of a class must participate in events or dress up for certain days during Spirit Week. Spirit week is the week before a dance where students in the high school may dress up to a certain theme. The first three themes are chosen by the Student Council, whereas the last day is "Green & White Day," where students can where anything that is green, gold, or white. The more spectacular your outfit is the more points you will earn. Some teens will dye their hair or put on face paint to show their school spirit.
