York staff brings the Duke spirit for Homecoming Week

Shaylin Fuller, Reporter|September 23, 2016

Students are not the only participants in Homecoming Spirit Week. Throughout the week, teachers showed their competitive spirit as well. Each department dresses to fit the theme of the day and work together to show the most school spirit.

The York Student Services department brought their “A” game and ended the week as the “Most Spirited Department,” a much deserved honor as evidenced by their fantastic spirit and costumes.

Other departments also went all out with creative themes and outstanding outfits.  Check out the photos below.
