The bonfire is something that happens every year. The seniors will be able to get closer to the fire than anyone else. They can go closer to the bonfire because they have to get all the wood for the fire. PEP Rally / Bonfire Thursday Night: an outstanding tradition for Okeechobee High School students! There is a $5 entry (fee is used for preparing and clean-up of the Bonfire site) The public will sit on the Visitor’s side. OHS and OFC students will sit with their classes on the Home side for the PEP Rally. Students need their school-issued ID’s for entry. Seniors meet in the Lecture Hall. 9th, 10th, and 11th-grade students meet in the stadium. Gates will be locked and the PEP Rally will start @ 7:00 pm. Don’t be late! Judged Class Chants, Jello eating contest, cheering, etc. all included! At the end of the PEP Rally, the WoodHauling Champions and Senior Class Reps will be called down to head to the wood pile. The Senior Class will meet on the track to sing the Alma Mater and then be released to the entry road for the lighting of the Bonfire. Only the Class of 2023 will be allowed on the road. The juniors, sophomores, and freshmen will then come to the area south of the end zone. The public will remain in the Visitor bleachers. Parents should plan on picking up their students by 9:00 p.m. Enter in the North Gate, circle around campus, pick up your student, and then exit through the South Gate. The South Gate will be the only exit gate. As always, students left on campus 30 minutes after any event could be denied access to future after-school activities.
