College Spirit Days EVERY MONDAY
We are implementing College Spirit Days on our campuses every Monday this year. We want our students to be thinking about college and beyond every week in which they are on campus. We also want to encourage our students to reach higher and be college bound. Students are encouraged to wear a college shirt or gear every Monday.
