Each senior, accompanied by his or her guardian(s), walks out and is recognized as a team member, an achiever, and ultimately a leader of that sport or group (pep band). It is a time of honor for the graduating class.<\/p>\n<p>For the crowd, this moment is incredibly special as well. Each student has the opportunity to see a mentor, a friend, a music or sports star get affirmed for\u00a0their commitment. Seeing something like this is encouraging to students, causing the &#8220;erupting&#8221; cheers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/faith-blog-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/20170523133938\/picture-21.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1857\" alt=\"picture 2\" src=\"https:\/\/faith-blog-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/20170523133938\/picture-21.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faith-blog-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/20170523133938\/picture-21.jpg 629w, https:\/\/faith-blog-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/20170523133938\/picture-21-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>I believe the underclassmen see this ceremony as something of a privilege\u2026 Something to look forward to, something to work for.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at all of this, Senior Night is an unforgettable time, made better by the unity and combination\u00a0of all the winter sports in 2014.
