This spooky season, Student Council organized a haunted house-style event, ‘Haunted Hallways,’ for various clubs and sports to participate in. According to StuCo, this event aims to provide a fun and interactive experience within the school.

The event was originally supposed to happen last year, but Heffernan said that the event wasn’t advertised quickly enough, and people didn’t want to participate as much. This year, however, StuCo has gotten enough participation to approve the event. Sophomore representative Jazmyn Byer said that she is excited for the upcoming event.

“This year we’ve had more people interested in it,” Byer said. “So we were able to get permission from [Assistant Principal Matthew Renk] to make Haunted Hallways happen.”

StuCo advisor Steve Heffernan said that his goal for this event was community outreach.

Junior representative Quinn Schroeder and senior representative Rakshan Ossen have worked together to bring this event to life. Schroeder and Ossen have done prior planning and organizing to ensure the event is a success.

“It started as a rough plan on paper, but now it’s turning into something the whole community can enjoy. As committee head, I definitely feel the pressure to make this event the best it can be,” Ossen said. “We’ve worked hard to promote it and are really hoping for a great turnout from the community. We wanted it to bring people together and give families something fun to look forward to before Halloween.”

Haunted Hallways will take place on Oct. 29 from 7 to 9 p.m. in 200 and 300 hallways. The event is open to all, and students from clubs or sports can sign up to be scare actors by contacting their coach or sponsor, who will then coordinate with StuCo.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about creating memories,” Ossen said. “If even one kid walks away smiling or feeling like they got to experience Halloween in a special way, then all the work we put in will have been worth it.”
