Student Traditions
A notable student tradition is the "Shirt throwing ceremony", occurring on the last class day for graduating seniors. The tradition dates back to the first graduating class. Students were upset that they had to wear uniforms unlike their classmates in other High Schools in the area, so conspired to run outside during the last day of class to throw their shirts into the trees surrounding the fountain in the center of campus. Ever since, every graduating class has participated in the shirt throwing ceremony. Afterwards, students run into the student parking lot to celebrate their last day at campus.
