Freshmen Take the Lead in the 2011-2012 Class Cup Competition




The Hull High School Class Cup is a tradition we began last year.  Each of the four grade levels compete in twelve challenges, which test their commitment to excellence in the areas of academics, community service, and school spirit.

 Each challenge is worth four points for the winning class, three points for second place, two points for third place, and one point for fourth place.  The class with the largest number of points at the end of the year, claim the cup and have their name engraved on the trophy.

Last year, the junior class (2012) managed an upset victory over the seniors (2011).  Therefore, in only our second year, we get to watch a class attempt to defend the cup.

On Friday, September 16th we held our first challenge of the school year.  The challenge asked each class to get the largest possible percentage of their grade level out to the first varsity football game of the year.  Little did we know that another upset was in the making.  The freshmen class, won the first challenge of the year by getting 67% of their class out to the game. 

We had over two hundred students at the game cheering the Pirates onto victory.  As always, we were impressed by the sportsmanship and behavior displayed by the Hull High School student section. 

Stay tuned for Class Cup Updates throughout the year.
