Starting Senior Year With A Roar

As the first pep rally of the year brings Seahawks together, Chris Mjtorian reflects on the energy, traditions, and excitement of beginning senior year. Logan Hoekman, Staffer September 14, 2026 Sunlake brought high energy last Friday at their first pep rally. The gym was filled with school spirit, with people following the USA theme, cheering, and participating in different activities. One of the events was a rally race that gave all grades the chance to compete in front of the entire school. For this event, students had to run across the gym, grab a ball, and bring it back to their team. After retrieving the balls, the team had to grab a flag to win the race. Christopher Mjtorian, a Senior at Sunlake, was chosen to participate in this event and was excited when he found out he was competing. Christopher said, after being selected, “My first reaction was ‘Let’s go!’ I knew it would be fun, but I also knew I had to try because everyone was watching.” Basically, he knew the event would be fun, but he also knew he had to secure the victory for the seniors. Before the race began, he focused on his speed. He said he was a bit nervous going up, but that didn’t stop him from running as fast as he could to grab the ball. After everyone completed their part, the Senior team came out on top. “I was really happy and proud to be part of the team,” Christopher said, showing the teamwork and camaraderie of the senior team. Christopher believes the crowd made the experience even more memorable. The gym became loud and super chaotic as students cheered for their teams. “Hearing everyone shouting made the race feel much more intense,” he said. This didn’t feel like a normal pep rally. He wasn’t just watching from the crowd; he was part of the action and the chaos. For him, pep rallies are usually a fun opportunity to have fun with friends, show school spirit, and take a break from the traditional school day. Looking back, he said he will remember the USA theme, the noise of the crowd, and being part of the winning senior team. He stated, “It was a great experience, and I’m glad I got the chance to be involved.” During Sunlake High School’s USA-themed pep rally Friday, seniors cheer from the crowd as they support their classmates during the rally’s activities. The pep rally featured games and competitions between grade levels, which riled up the crowd. (Caleb Gray)

A Pep Rally To Remember

The crowd applauded! Sunlake High School held its first pep rally of the school year and Jace Willson a Sophomore here at Sunlake had a blast. With a USA theme, bringing students together for games, music, and school spirit. His favorite part of the pep rally was the wig game because he felt it had the most energy out of the rest of the games, he states ”He and his friends couldn’t stop laughing watching people fight to pull off each other’s wigs,” Jace said the game stood out from the other activities and helped keep the crowd excited. Jace Willson also said “The red, white, and blue sunglasses and the fluorescent glow sticks were some of the best parts of the USA-themed event” … “the accessories helped students get louder and added more energy when the lights went down.” Another part Willson enjoyed was having students separated by grade. Willson said, “By being separated into grade sections it allowed students to be around their friends and get their entire grade excited for the event.” This made it easier for each grade to show their own school spirit, and which grade should win the spirt stick based on the most spirted and loudest class. Even though Jace thought the pep rally was good overall, he said the Sophomore class could have brought more energy. Jace believes they should bring more energy to future pep rallies and is excited to see his grade get more hyped as they get older through their time at Sunlake. Overall, Willson said he enjoyed Sunlake’s first pep rally and thought the event was successful. With more pep rallies coming throughout the school year, Jace hopes that every pep rally can be this exciting and fun as the first ones! Photo taken by Caleb Gray Freshmen cheer loudly during Sunlake High School’s first USA-themed pep rally of the year in Land O’ Lakes, Florida. Students from each grade compete to see which class can be the loudest as they show their school spirit.
