    Spirit Days are as follows:

    Wednesday is College T-shirt Day. (The goal is to foster a discussion on college options among students and faculty.) Friday is MacArthur Spirit Day. MacArthur T-shirts and athletic uniforms are to be worn on Fridays for that week's games. We want to build MacArthur spirit and pride.

    Our goal in having and enforcing a uniform is to promote an atmosphere of learning where students are valued for their strengths and promote positive interactions among students while exhibiting pride in MacArthur. We would also like to ask for your help. Please donate polo shirts and pants that are in good shape and washed that your children no longer need.

    Thank you for your support,

    Rose Ann Martinez, Principal

    Gen. Douglas MacArthur PreK-8th
