Pirate Pete Is Spreading Pirate Pride!
Pirate Pete traded the football sidelines for story time this weekend! On Saturday, Pirate Pete and one of our very own Dance Team seniors, Taylor Sackett, stopped by Java Dock to read to some of our future Pirates!
We love seeing Pirate Pete out and about in our community and showing that Pirate Pride goes far beyond Friday night football games. Building connections with our youngest Pirates, creating smiles, and getting to know the next generation of students is what it's all about!
A BIG shoutout to Pirate Pete and Taylor for taking time out of their weekend to make a difference and share a little Pirate spirit. We appreciate you both!
Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!

GO PIRATES!
Our cheer team had a fun and unique practice last night! They invited a handful of boys to join them for a special stunting clinic, giving them the opportunity to learn some new skills and experience what cheerleading is all about.
There are still some common misconceptions about male cheerleaders, and our team was excited to show the boys that cheerleading is for everyone! We loved seeing them step out of their comfort zones, give stunting a try, and bring some new energy to practice.
A HUGE shout-out to these students for being willing to try something new! Who knows... maybe we'll have some future male cheerleaders joining our Pirate Cheer family!

Trick-or-Treating for a Greater Cause!
This Halloween, some of our Pirates traded candy bags for canned goods and went trick-or-treating for the hungry!
Our Student Council members teamed up with DECA to collect canned food donations for our local food pantry. This is a tradition our students have proudly carried on for years, and we are so grateful for the continued generosity and support of our community and neighborhoods.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who opened their doors and donated to help those in need. Your kindness makes a difference!
We couldn't be prouder of our Pirates for giving back and making a positive impact in our community!

Athletic Highlight: Cheerleading, More Than the Pom-Poms
Cheerleading is about so much more than learning cheers, performing at halftime, and bringing the Pirate spirit on Friday nights. It's about teamwork, commitment, perseverance, and learning to believe in yourself and the people standing beside you.
That lesson goes far beyond the gym or the football field. Life doesn't always go as planned, and mistakes are inevitable. What matters most is how you respond, how you support the people around you, and whether you're willing to keep showing up and giving your best.
We're proud of our cheerleaders for the hard work they put in, the confidence they're building, and the lessons they're learning along the way. Because at the end of the day, it's about so much more than the pom-poms. It's about the people they're becoming.
