Spirit Week / Homecoming

Calvary's high school students showed their school spirit during the week of January 24-28.  It was a fun-filled week of "spirit days" which found the students dressed in everything from camouflage to overalls!  Friday was "school colors" day and students geared up for the evening's festivities at an afternoon pep rally!
