As the color guard performs its routine, junior spirit leader and sophomore Nathanial Crabtree claps to encourage the audience. The spirit leaders usually have a week before the pep rally to officially decide what they want to do at the event.

In front of the smart board, seniors Akhil Kotturi, Puranjay Prashanth and Vivaan Moharir present the different units of the AP Computer Science A course. Kotturi and Prashanth's nonprofit coding organization Project UCode held review sessions for students taking the AP Computer Science A exam at Walnut Grove and Prosper high schools on Apr. 24 and May 1, respectively. "We walked through some of the basic test taking tips and the overall unit structure of how the CSA test works," Prashanth said. "We also kind of advised people how to proceed on that CSA aspect. Writing things down and keeping track of everything is really important in succeeding in CSA, especially with the amount of information they give you. So we kind of give them test taking tips, walk them through an FAQ, and gave them an opportunity as questions when they could just easily ask one of the three members out there any questions they had about the test."

While greeting students at lunch duty, Associate Principal Paige Trujillo welcomes students back to Prosper High School. This moment comes from Aug 13., the first day of classes. "I love seeing everybody's new shoes, but, on a more serious note, I just love the energy in the building," Trujillo said. "Mr. Jones and I are here all summer while people are gone, so the building feels kind of sad without everybody in it. So, the best thing is when teachers come back and all that energy, and then y'all come back, and that's even more energy. I truly love this job, and I love Prosper High School. So when everybody comes back, that's the best part – coming back to school."
