With Homecoming just around the corner, students take a moment to discuss the concept of “class spirit” and why it matters so much to the community
Homecoming week has kicked off with a wide range of activities and contests, such as dress up days, talent shows, food drives and Quad Decorations. As class competition gets fierce, students look into the root of this competition to discover what exactly class spirit is — and why it is so important not just during Homecoming, but to the MVHS community.
