I looked past the trite freshmen programs that were set up for me, and school “spirit” sessions that just left me feeling less spirited than before.

However, along with becoming accustomed, I have become aware of different programs that other schools facilitate. Desiring the same programs, I began to think of innovative ways to change our high school.
