Despite being a relatively new tradition, students have already come to know and love it, every year each sports team as well as students that have been chosen to be sweetheart or homecoming candidates are given a day to welcome elementary schoolers and enjoy breakfast with them.
Despite changes in style and popular dances through the years every year students come together and enjoy prom together, students have one last opportunity to bond and have one more celebration before the seniors graduate and students are let out for summer.
Every year in preparation for prom the junior class decorates. This ensures students can make their prom unique and their own. This also allows the students who will be graduating together to come together to work on a project that means a lot to them and that they'll remember.
School dances give all students a chance to connect without the pressures of class and homework. They are a yearly tradition and bring together not only students who are already friends, but people who have never talked, giving everyone a chance to find new friends.
Every year the high school lends its gym to the elementary school for inflatable day, and high schoolers are encouraged to help. This gives the high schoolers the chance to be a positive influence and role model to the children and gives them both something to look forward to.
