School Spirit Exhibit Opening Reception at the Old Courthouse Museum

Think back to your fondest memories of school. Were they all in the classroom? Probably not! Activities and events like music, sports, and homecoming create lasting memories and allow students to compete for and take pride in their school. To support these endeavors, schools – whether in a neighboring small town or one of Sioux Falls’ four public high schools – created mascots, chose colors, wrote songs, and developed cherished traditions. All of these activities helped create a common identity and sense of pride for a school’s students, alumni, parents, teachers, and community members. In a word, it all contributes to school spirit.
School Spirit is an exhibit about the many academic, athletic, and social activities Minnehaha County-area schools have done for over a century. Join us for the exhibit opening reception on Thursday, March 27th from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Old Courthouse Museum. Admission is free.
