🏗️🎉 We built more than just school spirit at our Construction-Themed Pep Rally! From the NJROTC presenting the Colors and our Chorus performing the National Anthem to recognizing our clubs and welcoming new 'Staffulty,' the energy was through the roof! Special thanks to our guest speaker, Will Buchanan, for laying the groundwork for an inspiring new year. We ended with a burst of excitement, from the balloon pop to the obstacle course, and of course, a sing-along to ‘Don’t Stop Believin’! 🚧🎶 #SchoolSpirit #PepRally #BuildingSchoolSpirit #GHSSCA #GoDukes
