School Spirit Exhibit Opening Reception

Think back to your fondest memories of school. Were they all in the classroom? Probably not! Activities and events like music, sports, and homecoming create lasting memories and allow students to compete for and take pride in their school. To support these endeavors, schools – whether in a neighboring small town or one of Sioux Falls' four public high schools – created mascots, chose colors, wrote songs, and developed cherished traditions. All of these activities helped create a common identity and sense of pride for a school's students, alumni, parents, teachers, and community members. In a word, it all contributes to school spirit.
