Since 1968, Upper School students have celebrated Spirit Week with three days of high-energy rallies, creative costumes, vibrant decorations, and spirited dances. It's also a week for giving back. Since 1994, the tradition has kicked off with a day of service, as students collect canned goods for Second Harvest Food Bank before heading out to support community partners across Charlotte.
