My second son's middle school is in the midst of the MSA's, Maryland's version of those all powerful standardized tests that determine how students, teachers, and schools are rated. They treat it like they were competing for the state football title. They hold a pep rally, with appropriate cheers. Two of the male teachers are letting their beards grow. On test days, they hand out lavish snacks and cool pencils.
Better for the test than for a football game, I guess, but the "Rah Rah Go Team" thing still amuses me.

In our school district the highschool hallways has the standard cases of football and other sport award trophys. But best of all are the 24x36 posters of every national merit semifinalist for the year.
I went to the sort of high school where every football and basketball triumph was celebrated, but no attention was paid to us successful nerds.
