Showing up to school to see hundreds of students dressed up in wacky costumes can make for a fun and uplifting day, even more so if you are one of those participating. Texas High holds spirit days for home games, rival weeks, Senior week and Homecoming week.

Spirit days are to get the student and teacher body active in their school and to pump up the football team for upcoming games. Students can even be rewarded for dressing up through bonus points from certain teachers or through cheer leaders at lunch handing out prizes.

“Cheer and Student Council are trying to give prizes to people who are really spirited and decorated in the lunches to encourage more people to participate,” said Susan Waldrep. “I am excited [for spirit days], I love them, and I think that teachers should celebrate too. I think it’s going to be a good year.”
