Chief Night Activities

Chief Night is our annual back-to-school celebration, planned by the Student Council Cabinet to welcome everyone into a new school year. The excitement begins with a First Day Assembly that features the introduction of the new Freshman Class, recognition of all fall sports teams and new faculty, and spirited performances by the band, color guard, poms, and cheerleaders.

A few weeks into the school year, the fun continues with Chief Night on the practice football field, transformed into a carnival-style event filled with games, music, food trucks, and plenty of school spirit. Tickets for Chief Night will be available during Orientation Week and in the days leading up to the event.

Homecoming Week – October
