In addition to showing support for their school,high school students with school spirit perform better academically,are more engaged in (参加) social matters,and are happier in general than their less-spirited schoolmates. These findings were part of an online survey of high school students,parents and (校长) . The new survey conducted by Harris Poll involved about 1,500 individuals who were asked about school pride,academics,self-respect and community involvement. The research attempted to discover how school spirit is connected to the way high school students learn,lead and grow.
School spirit involves a student's pride in his or her school,a student's tendency to get other students to be active in school events,and a student's plans to return to his or her school for special events after graduation. A Student who completed the survey stated that “school spirit means to support your school no matter what,knowing your school has helped you to reach your goals."
From academic achievement to general happiness,the survey (表明) a positive relationship to school spirit. Nearly all of the principals believe that higher levels of school spirit are tied to higher student achievement.
“When students feel a sense of school spirit,they tend to be more involved in the great opportunities which exist in their school,” noted one female principal who responded to the survey. “If they have a lower level of such spirit,they are not involved in athletics or many of the activities. Additionally,they do not take personal responsibility for not doing well and tend to blame the school. Students who are achieving strongly tend to be involved in all aspects of high school. They participate in different events,activities and athletics on site."
The survey indicated that during the 2013-2014 school year,high school students were involved in an average of eight after-class activities; and among those individuals involved in activity programs,51 percent said the reason they were involved was so that they could be involved in their school,and 34 percent said getting involved was a way to show thdr school spirit.
