High School Pep Rally
GO TITANS!! The gymnasium buzzed with excitement as students and staff gathered for the high school pep rally. Hilarious games were the highlight, with teachers and students facing off in events like dodgeball, tug-of-war, and more with plenty of laughter and friendly competition. Thanks to all for their enthusiasm and emphasizing sportsmanship, leaving students and staff feeling energized and connected.
