Junior-Senior Rivalry
Castilleja students have a long history of building community through friendly competition and creative and spontaneous performance. Currently, this manifests itself in Junior/Senior Rivalry each Spring. During Rivalry, the junior class and the senior class each pick a secret theme and plan for weeks to prepare to transform the campus a day. Faculty join the fun with skits and costumes to suit the themes. In recent years, the juniors and seniors have added a flag football game that sways between friendly and fierce.
