Show your school spirit by Showing Up!

Attendance is tracked daily. From January 17th until February 10th, we will compare daily attendance with Pitt and see which school has more students Showing Up and that school earns the crown! The winner will be announced during halftime of the varsity boys game @ Pitt on February 17th.
