Central follows a long tradition of creating a sense of school spirit among Centralites, but in recent years, there has been a lack of student participation from a large portion of the student body in school activities and events.
While many students are involved with extracurricular activites, sports, clubs and jobs, I fear that a large number of students lack any motivation to be proud of our school and bring spirit to extracurricular activities and sports games.
This past football season, Central has made the playoffs, which has not been done since the 2015 6 season. Typically, as a team gets better one would see an increase in student section participation, but our student section does not show how hard our football team has worked, especially at away games. School spirit makes our teams play better no matter the circumstances.
I don’t think it is that we have no school spirit, but that an overwhelming majority do not want to participate in school events or do not have access to the events.
When Central shows our school spirit we show it loudly and proudly, but I think we need to grow this spirit even more, through the next year.
During spirit weeks I hope that we have more of the student body showing up in full support of the themes. In previous years people have been embarrassed to follow the themes during Sspirit Week because most people do not participate. But, participating should not be embarrassing;, it should be largely supported.
I hope people will not view going to school dances as boring and not a fun expierence, because what makes events fun is when people show up in support of the event.
I wish for more people to support our theatre and arts departments by supporting the musical and play.
I hope people show up to the girls and boys basketball games, in full support by cheering loud.
I wish for more people to join clubs and sports.
By getting involved not only does your high school expierence become more fun but Central will be more connected as a community and not just a school.
