[edit] Other Notes
- Every year during the fundraiser basketball game called "JAM THE DAM!", Senior boys cross-dress and imitate the Rhythm B's (a school dance group) to become the Rhythm Boys and perform a humorously choreographed dance for the crowd. The boys work together with the Rhythm B's to create the dance many weeks in preparation for JAM THE DAM!, as well as with help from other students and staff.
