Small Campus With Great Opportunities

Great school events and fun free opportunities for all students! It's a small, close-network school where everybody knows practically everyone in their class by name.

Facts

Traditions
  • The Block Party: This event, held in April, is held on the campus Greenway. There is plenty of free food and usually some sort of live music. Activities are also held, and have included sumo-suit wrestling, inflatable bouncing games like the bungee walk and moonwalk, and other fun things.
  • Winter Weekend: Every year, usually in February, students form teams of 20 (10 guys and 10 gals) and compete against each other in spirit events, karaoke, and sporting events/relay races. Students come up with clever team names based on a decided theme, and in the past, themes have ranged from superheroes to Disney movies. Many people throw off-campus parties to celebrate the weekend.
Urban Legends
  • In Kirby Hall, a poker game supposedly went wrong and some say a ghost lives there now.
  • In Weiss, there was a fire that killed a little girl and now some say you can hear footsteps running up and down the steps.
