For many students, the highlight of Spirit Week is day four: Pepper Squad day.
At HBA, Pepper Squad is a skit performed by each grade during Spirit Week meant to promote each grade’s theme as well as to boost school spirit, hence the “pepper”.
Preparations begin in the second quarter, when the Student Council announces the overall Spirit Week theme. Classes compete to produce the best banner, Pepper Squad, and Pepper Squad costumes to fit their assigned theme.
Here are each grade’s Pepper Squad Themes as well as their current point standings:
