On April 24, the third day of prom spirit week, students donned flouncy hats, sharp suits and lovely dresses for derby day. For the biggest horse race in the sport, the Kentucky Derby, bright colors and huge hats were used to express the southern belle culture. Now, the tradition continues as a good luck charm to those who wear the pieces.
“It is fun to see everyone who dressed up and see what they were on derby day,” said freshman Jayme Matayas. “Even seeing the teachers who participated with everyone looking great.”
Sophomores are still winning with 3350 spirit points and seniors are in a close second with 3093 points. Juniors scored 3077 points and Freshman 2882 points. Keep showing your style and having fun during college and career day tomorrow!
