Merkel ISD is making adjustments to its tradition of school spirit events. This fall, elementary students will be attending fewer pep rallies than in the past. The change is intended to allow for more class time.
Despite the reduction in pep rally attendance, school spirit is expected to remain a part of the school's culture. Further details about the new schedule and how it will be implemented are available from Merkel ISD.
