AlphaSigOU,
I'd have to disagree with you, at least in regards to my high school and the high schools in my area. I went to an all girl's high school where school spirit ran rampant. We held pep rally's and spirit week. And two of the all boys schools at home partake in biggest high school rivalry in the nation. And their spirit hasn't gone down if anything, it's gone up since the time my dad went there. I will give you this, I am speaking for my hometown schools alone, and granted I did not cover the public schools, but I only wanted to talk of what I know.
Besides, how can you say school spirit is declining from the old days, when you can still go to a college or high school football game and see guys without shirts on painted in their school colors in 40 degree weather. I'd say that's a lot of spirit.
