School Spirit & Events to Remember

26. Go All Out for Spirit Week

Plan ahead and bring your A-game to every theme day. It’s cheesy, yes—but it’s also so much fun.

27. Paint the School Rock or Wall

Leave your mark with a group mural, quote, or even a funny doodle. It’s a rite of passage in many schools.

28. Attend a Pep Rally

Even if you usually skip it, try going at least once this year. The energy is infectious and it’s all part of the senior experience.

29. Lead a Chant at a Game

Get bold! Leading a chant at a football or basketball game shows your school spirit in the best way.

30. Support a Team You’ve Never Watched Before

Go cheer for tennis, cross country, or golf—something different than the usual Friday night lights.

31. Participate in a Club or Committee

Senior year is a great time to try something new—whether it’s student government, prom committee, or yearbook.

32. Volunteer at a School Event

It’s a nice way to give back, especially at events you enjoyed when you were younger. Bonus points if you do it with friends.

33. Dress Up for Game Day

Make signs, wear school colors, and maybe even paint your face. Why not go big?

34. Try Out for a Senior-Only Event

Talent shows, senior nights, or final-year traditions are the perfect chance to step into the spotlight.

35. Sign the Senior Wall

If your school has one, don’t miss the chance to add your name to the legacy.

36. Plan a Senior Prank (That’s Actually Fun)

Keep it lighthearted and harmless. Think sticky notes, balloons, or themed decor—something that’ll make everyone smile.

37. Attend Senior Skip Day

Whether it’s officially sanctioned or low-key, spend the day doing something fun, not just staying in bed.

38. Host a Tailgate

Bring snacks, games, and school pride to the parking lot before a big game. It sets the tone for the night.

39. Take a Pic with the School Mascot

Cheesy? Totally. Necessary? Absolutely.

40. Leave a Note for Your Favorite Teacher

It’s a small gesture, but those words can mean so much—and it’s part of closing this chapter with gratitude.

41. Be Part of the Senior Walk

Whether it’s through the halls of your school or at a nearby elementary school, walking in your cap and gown is symbolic and sweet.

42. Buy the Yearbook—and Sign It!

It’s something you’ll love flipping through years from now. Don’t skip it.

43. Join in on Promposals

Whether you’re asking or helping a friend plan theirs, it’s part of the fun of senior spring.

44. Plan Your Dream Prom Look

Start early and have fun finding that perfect outfit, shoes, hair, and makeup plan. Make it an experience, not just a task.

45. Dance at Prom

Even if you’re not a dancer, get on the floor for at least one song. No regrets.

46. Take Cap & Gown Pics Early

Beat the rush and get photos while the flowers are still blooming and the weather’s perfect.

47. Have a Picnic in the Courtyard

Gather friends, pack food, and enjoy a relaxed lunch in your school’s outdoor space.

48. Paint Your Parking Spot

If your school allows it, go wild with designs, quotes, or fun patterns that scream “you.”

49. Participate in a Senior Countdown

Mark off days or start a chalkboard countdown for a daily reminder that the big day is coming.
