History

Throughout the school year, we have designated Spirit Dress days.  On Spirit Days, students and staff may wear jeans with a college, high school, AVID or Back t-shirt.  Opportunities to purchase t-shirts will be available throughout the year. Check the calendar for dates.  If a student decides not to participate in Spirit Dress days, standardized dress is expected.
