Spirit Committee
Lowell High School is a competitive school with approximately three thousand of the most outstanding students eager to impress and succeed. Not only do we make education a (friendly) competition, but class spirit as well. Our spirit weeks are a battle for each class to go head to head and prove which class is truly the best.
Fall Spirit Week is the ultimate battlefield. Each grade will be given a theme and is responsible for putting together a committees that will decorate each assigned hallway, put together a dance number, and bring their A-game to the rally.
The winning class of Spirit Week is to be determined by a number of anonymous judges based on a scoring system. This includes scores based on the decorated spirit hallways, Spirit Week participation, dance, and overall rally game wins.
Spirit Committee is put together by each class board, with the exception of freshmen (to be discussed if you keep reading). The committee meets everyday after school for about 6 weeks. Their goal is to decorate the hallway with the best posters, choreograph the best dance, and pick those ready to compete in rally games.
Art Committee
Artsy or creative? Art Committee is the right place to be! Art Committee takes care of covering the assigned hallway for each class with posters according to their theme. The main job here is to make beautiful posters. Everyone is welcome to join — Art Committee's main goal here is to bring your class closer together. As long as you can hold a brush and color in the lines, you are exactly what we're looking for.
Dance Committee
Time to get that body moving! If you want to dance, choreograph, or just shake ya tailfeather, join Dance Committee. Learn a whole dance that goes according to your grade's spirit theme, and then get ready to perform it for the whole school at the rally! The dance is a bit part of the overall spirit score, so it is very important to bust out those dance moves and wow the crowd!
Freshmen Spirit Committee
Since freshmen will not yet have their own class board, the SBC Club Coordinator and SBC Election Commissioner will be in charge of the Freshmen Spirit Committee. An info meeting will be held early in the year — keep your eyes posted for more information!
Late Night
The Friday before Spirit Week is probably one of the most hectic days of the Lowell year. All the Spirit Committees from each grade work from the moment school lets out until about 10pm. All the posters must go up, which means last minute sketching, painting, drying, and taping. The dancers will be busy drilling their routine before the big spirit day... and everything must come together before three thousand Lowellites rush in on Monday morning to judge and drool in awe at the hallways. Food is provided for the committee embers by the class boards.
