Spirit Week
Twice a year (once during Homecoming week, another during Powder Puff football week), the school has a spirit week. During that time, students and teachers alike are allowed to go outside normal dress code and dress up according to the event planned (e.g., Western day, Movie Star day, Pajama day, etc.).
Both spirit weeks are catalysts for a big football game: the first spirit week is used to pump up the school for the upcoming home football game against a league rival, while the second spirit week is used to pump up the school for the upcoming juniors vs. seniors powder puff football game.

Famous quotes containing the words spirit and/or week:
“Oh! thou clear spirit of clear fire, whom on these seas I as Persian once did worship, till in the sacramental act so burned by thee, that to this hour I bear the scar; I now know thee, thou clear spirit, and I now know that thy right worship is defiance. To neither love nor reverence wilt thou be kind; and e’en for hate thou canst but kill; and all are killed. No fearless fool now fronts thee.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“A baby nurse is one that changes diapers and loves ‘em dearly. Get up at all hours of the night to give ‘em the bottle and change their pants. If the baby coughs or cries, you have to find out the need. I had my own room usually, but I slept in the same room with the baby. I would take full charge. It was twenty-four hours. I used to have one day a week off and I’d go home and see my own two little ones.”
—Ruth Lindstrom (c. 1892–?)
