For such a small school, McGehee's get very excited about school games. Students in the Upper School attend almost every sporting event, even during cold weather and rain. We have a very positive and competitive program which is supported by all students, faculty, and parents. For one of the days during Spirit Week the whole Upper School attends a mandatory volleyball game. On Friday, the last day, we have a Student Body picnic with the whole school and have fun and games throughout the campus.
Lunch is picnic style and consists of fried chicken, salad, brownies, iced tea and lemonade.
This traditional event is complete with the four McGehee School choirs singing a song on the steps of the Main Building. For the students on the last day before the Winter Holidays the Upper School performs a concert on the Spiral Staircase. The singing is followed by the traditional Nativity Pageant performed by the Senior Class with the help of the Middle and Upper School Choirs. Depending on the ages the play requires, the Lower and Middle Schools sometimes have the opportunity to try out for the play. One important aspect of this play is that anyone in the high school can try out , even if they do not take music class, and are cast into the play.
