What exactly is school spirit? Wikipedia defines it as “an emotional support for one's educational institution.” The next question one could ask is how many people actually support Peekskill High School?
Many students and teachers have probably heard the students talk about how much they dislike the school. Why is that? One guess can be that not many students participate in school activities. This can be a major problem. PHS junior, Dontae Harris says, “I think we need more effort toward school spirit because that’s the only time the school needs to come together as one.”
The stude
nt council decides what happens during spirit week and on spirit day. They decide what events are going to happen and the rules for these events. If any student doesn’t like the job that the student council is doing, but doesn’t go to the meetings, then they don’t really have the right to express their distaste for the school. Every student can have a say in what happens in the school, not just during spirit week. Get active if you want to have a good time throughout your entire high school experience.
