Spirit Weeks

Dow High traditionally has three spirit weeks. Two are the weeks before the Midland - Dow football game and the Midland - Dow basketball game. The third is the week leading up to Spring Break. We call it Spring Fever Week. Student Union decides on the theme for each day- like Pajama Day and Backwards Day - and third hour classes get counted for spirit points. There is also a Super Fan competition the week before the football game.
