Hall Decorations, one of the first events of Homecoming Week, took place on Monday night. Students stayed after school to decorate their hallways according to the assigned theme.
The Freshman Class had “Great Barrier Reef,” the Sophomore Class had “Under the Sea,” the Junior Class had “Terror Island” and the Senior Class had “Shark Week.”
The hall decorations were judged Tuesday morning by several staff members and the winning grade will be announced at the pep assembly Friday. Friday will follow the A day schedule with shortened classes to allow for the assembly at the end of the day.
