Seniors took the Spirit Stick during the first Pep Rally of the year. Even though the event was held at the end of the day when some seniors leave for senior privilege, they still beat out the freshmen for the spirit stick.
With displays from the Varsity cheer squad, JV cheer squad, dance team, and runs from the swim team, bowling team, volleyball team, golf team, and varsity football team, the first 2017 Pep Rally included a “fight” between the Atlantic eagle mascot and Santaluces Chiefs.
