Climbing up the bleachers into the student section, senior Josh Dubose crinkled his nose, smelling the familiar scent of stink bombs planted under the bleachers before the Olympics-themed homecoming pep rally.

The gym was filled with seniors, juniors, sophomores, teachers and a large crowd of alumni at the pep rally this morning as the student body got hyped for tonight’s homecoming game against Lake Highlands High School.

“The pep rally was very fun, and it was really cool to see all of the organizations come together,” senior Jennifer Lorenzo said.

The Homecoming pep rally is unique because it precedes the parade, football game, and dance, and students wear mums and garters to express spirit for the school.

“It’s really sad that it’s my last pep rally,” Lorenzo said. “I’m going to miss all of the spirit.”
