SENIORS’ SPIRIT BRINGS THEM A FINAL VICTORY: Last Thursday, the Class of ‘25 won the victory chant contest at the senior night pep rally. As it was her last victory chant ever, senior Kiran Ireland felt that the win was a good way to finish the pep rallies.

“It was a good sendoff,” Ireland said. “Celebrating the senior class is important and it was a good end to the season.”

Since it was their last pep rally, the victory was especially important because it was the seniors’ last chance to win the spirit stick.

“I think for a lot of people it was really special because it was the last pep rally we’ll have as seniors,” Ireland said. “I didn’t go to any pep rallies until senior year. It was really fun and I’m really glad I went to all of them this year.”

Besides being a fun way to show their school spirit, fighting to win the victory chant competition helped bring Ireland’s classmates together.

“Since it’s a friendly competition, it brings unity,” Ireland said. “Not all of the senior class is friends, but we’re all cheering for our class as a whole. We’re all trying to win together, and I think that is really fun.”

While the victory contest gave the seniors a way to show their love for McCallum with the victory contest, the senior night pep rally as a whole also gave McCallum the chance to show its love and support for the seniors. The whole pep rally focused on celebrating and honoring the class of ‘25’s legacy, which Ireland appreciated and saw as important.

“Seniors have a lot of pride in McCallum after four years,” Ireland said. “I think it’s important to recognize all of the things you’ve achieved in high school, and celebrating the senior class at the pep rally is one of the ways to do that.”
