Gatesville seniors pass the torch

Posted

Gatesville Independent School District held its pep rally on Thursday, Oct. 18, at McKamie Stadium. This pep rally was special for the community since Gatesville ISD added a new tradition for its seniors and kindergarten classes.

In place of the usual pep rally game, the senior class of 2025 and the current kindergarten class were able to walk from different end zones where they met in the middle at the 50-yard line to greet each other and exchanged letters of encouragement. This was considered as “passing the torch,” since the kindergartens are just beginning their time at Gatesville ISD and the seniors are ending their journey to begin a new one.

Along with the event, the cheerleaders, Dazzlers, and the Color Guard each gave a performance to the crowd. There was also a speech given by Aaron Hunter, head football coach.
