Shouting their graduation year, “2026,” communications juniors Becca Cross and Emily Ramirez show their support for the junior class at the beginning of the Pep Rally. At the end of the Pep Rally, it is a tradition for the junior class to run over to the senior side of the bleachers in the gym to symbolize taking their place in the coming year. “At first, I didn’t notice people running over because I was too busy watching my senior friends,” Cross said. “Understanding that I’m going to be a senior next year and watching it all happen (...) is sad, but I was also happy. It was bittersweet.”
