With school spirit and student involvement on the rise, The Tribe, our student section, seems to multiply with every consecutive game. Game themes have become a regular occurence with an immense amount of participation from our cheer block. Yells are heard from across the football field by the immense number of students engaging with the cheer team. Although involvement is highly important for our cheer block, respect, not only for the opposing team, but for our school, is important as well.
Jamison Barger (11), a heavily involved member of the Pep Club, highlights the amount of excitement the student section has brought to football games already this year.
“I expect the cheer block to be a lot louder and more involved in all sporting events, not just basketball and football. A little of that responsibility is on the Pep Club in terms of hyping up those events and getting dates and times out to the student body. So far this year, however, I think the student body has done a better job at being more involved,” Barger said.
Pep Club President, Macy Funk (12), has high expectations for our student section this academic school year. Not only is she anticipating great student involvement, Funk also expectsproper behavior from all students.
“I expect this year’s cheer blockto continue being respectful, cheerful and loud. I expect them to be proud to be cheering on their Warrior and Warriorettes,” said Funk.
With this great inclusion, however, comes great responsibility in part of the students. Proper behavior is necessary for The Tribe, not only because of disciplinary rules, but for the overall outlook and reputation of our school.
“School rules do apply at school sporting events. We do not want to disparage anyone's name. We believe everyone has worth. We can have fun but not make fun of individual people,” said Principal Chris Routt regarding behavior that those in the student section should display.
This year, a lot of hope rests upon the words uttered by The Tribe of SHS in hopes that respect and school spirit can be displayed throughout the student section.
