Spirit Week

The hardcourt theme for 2025 is games! Student Council has been planning for the past few months to ensure a fun hardcourt week. 

Here is what the dress-up days are :

*All outfits must be school-appropriate and follow the school dress code

*No hats or masks

*Anything But a Backpack Day Guidelines (on Wednesday!)

-Should not be stolen property

-Must be small enough that it can be picked up and carried by one student

Rock Paper Scissor Tournament

Another fun activity that Student Council has planned for the spirit week is a rock paper scissor tournament!

• Every student and teacher will receive a necklace in their 1st Hour class on Friday
• To play, challenge someone to a game of rock paper scissors, and the loser must give the winner all of the necklaces that they have. (Once you lose all your necklaces, you’re out.)
• You are only allowed to play during the passing periods and lunch, NOT during class time. If you play during class time, the teacher has the right to take your necklaces and keep them for their own.  
• The goal is to try to collect as many necklaces as you can throughout the day.
• During the pep session, students and staff who have a large amount of necklaces left will be called down to play against other players until there is only one winner.

Hardcourt Seniors

• Students will vote for the Hardcourt King and Queen (staff nominated the senior finalists and all students in grades 9-12 can vote).
