Teachers Celebrate Spirit Week

Faculty partake in festivities by coordinating outfits with their themes.


Nathan Hesse and Carmen Gallardo throw back to 1990’s grunge with a Nirvana t-shirt, overalls, and a flannel. The term grunge originated as a descriptor for an emerging style of music popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, which grew into a genre of clothing that considered itself “anti-fashion.” Photo by Allison Robbert.

English teacher Martha Warwick poses in a Mardi Gras ensemble, pairing vibrant pants with a layer of purple, gold, and green beads. These colors are traditionally associated with the holiday and have been assigned to symbolize justice, power, and faith respectively. Photo by Allison Robbert.


English teacher Geoffrey Johnston’s Mardi Gras tribute includes an eye mask and necklaces, which he incorporates into his class discussion. Photo by Allison Robbert.


Social studies teachers Jeffrey Stohr, Ross Vening, Katie Sheridan, Chelsea Baer, and Sara Stout gather in carnival masks and beaded necklaces. In early celebrations of Mardi Gras, masks were used as a way to escape class constraints, so that individuals of different social statuses could mingle and celebrate together.

Administrators Corey Ferrera, Belinda Castillo, Ronald Lewis, Ms. Bennett, and Teneisha Finney match in glitter, feathers, and top hats.

Katie Sheridan, Chelsea Baer, and Sara Stout fit the theme in these floral outfits. Hippies, sometimes referred to as flower children, would wear and carry flowers as a symbol of peace, nonviolence, and tolerance. The “flower power” movement was largely rooted in opposition to the Vietnam War. Photo courtesy of Katie Sheridan.


Teneisha Finney and Sarah Garcia display peace signs in true hippie spirit. The symbol was originally used as a “V” sign for victory by the Allied Nations in World War II, but was reclaimed by anti-war activists in the 1960s. Photo by Allison Robbert.
