We, the Students of Satellite High School, petition the administration of Satellite High School to begin holding pep rallies in the school gymnasium beginning Friday October 6th, 2017 and thereafter.
The current location of SHS pep rallies not only discourages unity, but also student participation. With these discouragements a lack of school spirit and pride is created among the student body. The endorsement of this movement would not only further unify the attendees of SHS, but establish a sense of pride within the school.
The Administration argues that since the gym capacity is 930, and current student enrollment sits at about 1300, that holding pep rallies in the gym would break fire codes. However 1,319 is the number of students enrolled at SHS, not the number of students that attend during 7th period. The actually attendance level will be much less than 1,319 due to students that do the following:
- Are early admitted at the college
- are Dual enrolled at the college during 7th period
- Students who have an active BPS Waiver during 7th period
For these reasons the student body of Satellite High School believes that holding pep rallies in the SHS gym should present no issue.

The administrations commitment to athletic success is truly disappointing!! Have the rally in the courtyard if the gym isn’t sufficient. A good leader would find a way to bring the school together. The administration needs to hire Paul Hodges as the athletic director or strength and conditioning coach.
I am a Satellite grad and a previous cheerleader, we loved having pep rallies in the gym. I agree it brought us all together to support each other. Please let the current students make great memories and support their team like we did. Thanks
Having a pep rally in the gym just like every school does would show a lot more spirit. Kids will leave and not enjoy it. We need to make pep rally’s a thing to remember about high school. Separate sections by grades, and have spirit offs !!! That would be so much fun.
I graduated last year but I get heat strokes just thinking about the pep rallies.
As student body president and someone who has ran Pep Rally's before, and communicated with other schools, having a pep rally in the gym would solve many problems and create a more active and spirited environment!
Too hot

Seriously, the gym is definitely empty enough by 7th period. Stop making us sit out on the hot asphalt for these, it is literally miserable.
