In the final 26 days of the school year, the annual senior ABC countdown is held for seniors dress up according to themed dress-up day.
“I’ve been looking forward to the ABC countdown all year. It’s a great way to bond as a senior class over the variety of ways we can interpret each theme,” said senior Tennille Johnson.
Many students participate in this as it is the last “spirit days” of their high school career and a school tradition for seniors to end the year.
As of publication date, some of the most popular theme days have been early 2000’s, Greek life, cook-out day, Despicable Me day and LLSF day.
“My favorite theme so far has been [cook-out day] because it’s just so much fun and can be such a silly theme to participate in,” said Johnson.
