While some students wear their normal attire, other students go over and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Students  at PHS have different thoughts about the definition of  school spirit. Freshman Allie Wright said school spirit is \u201cwhen you  do the activities and stuff for the week. It shows that you are  creative and very outgoing.\u201d Senior Cierra Carroll said, \u201cschool spirit  is when you have a blast dressing up for your school and supporting  the different things that take place in the school atmosphere.\u201d Junior  Heston Blankenship said school spirit is \u201ckids being kids.\u201d Senior  Maggie Morrow said school spirit is \u201cjust everyone coming together and  cheering on our school.\u201d Junior Andria Shook said, \u201cSchool spirit is  being with your peers and rooting on your schools activities but also  having fun while doing that.\u201d Freshman Melissa Slater said, \u201cIt&#8217;s when  people get extremely excited for their school and show how they feel  towards their school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Teens  usually like to join in during pep rallies during school, but sometimes  there are those few students who do not get enthusiastic. Wright said  \u201cyes, I feel that it is necessary to do the pep rallies.\u00a0 It&#8217;s fun and  lets kids relax and not be shy.\u201d Morrow said, \u201cI always join in during  pep rallies! \u00a0I think they are so much fun, and it really helps the  classes come together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There  are times where PHS has a week where students dress up to different  themes. Sometimes that week consists of a nerd day, gangster day,  mismatch day and many more. Blankenship does not dress up for that week.  Shook said, \u201cyes!\u201d when asked if she dresses up during that week.<\/p>\n<p>Since  there is a variety of themes during the week, PHS dresses up wacky. Students seem to have more fun. Being asked what theme she would like  for the next time PHS dresses up crazy, Carroll said, \u201cI think it would  be fun to have a toga day!\u201d Slater said, \u201cI think it should be animals.\u201d  Morrow said, \u201cI don&#8217;t really know of a theme, but my favorite dress up  days are gangster day and metro day. \u00a0Everyone usually goes all out for  those.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked how students rate themselves on the scale of 1-10  on how much school spirit they have, Wright said, \u201cI have about a 4  because I don&#8217;t do many of the activities. I\u2019m not creative enough to come  up with anything.\u201d Carroll thinks that should would be an 8 on that  scale. Morrow isn\u2019t too  sure on what she would rate herself on that scale. Shook said she would  be a 10 and also added a simple smiley face afterwards. Last but not  least, Slater said, \u201c5, I don&#8217;t get THAT into it but I think it&#8217;s fun  sometimes and I dress up for it some times on the days we are told.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; By Jaidlyn Larimore Students at PHS have school spirit.
