Spirit Parade

Cheering fans dressed in orange and blue poured onto Norfolk Academy's campus Friday, as the school enjoyed Homecoming.

The day began with cheerleaders, football players, and the Bulldog greeting Lower School students at the door. It continued with a Lower School pep rally; Chapel talk from Interim Middle School Director Tommy Hudgins; Cornerstone Society Luncheon for alumni who have celebrated their 50th reunions; dance competition pep rally for Middle and Upper School students; several athletics contests; Game Day Dinner; and Spirit Parade. It concluded with the varsity football team posting a 49-0 win over St. John Paul the Great High School.
