Spirit Week

FEBRUARY 2–6, 2026

Spirit Week 2026 will mark the 37th year of a tradition that is arguably the highlight of the year for the Westminster community!

Students dress up according to each day's theme and participate in heart-pumping games and activities in the Arena. Beginning in February 1990, this exciting yearly tradition is the perfect opportunity for our students to work together as a class while getting creative, competing, leading, and joyfully honoring Christ as a student body.

Community Events

Community Night

Thursday, February 5, 6:30 p.m.

Community Night is a special evening where friends and families can come together to celebrate the talents and creativity of our students. It’s a unique opportunity for anyone considering Westminster to meet our vibrant community. You'll get to enjoy a showcase of all the week’s performances, including Film Project, Boys Poms, and Lip Sync. The artboard competition will also be on display, showcasing the artistic talents of our students.

The night will feature two live performance locations with identical content. Students will perform first in the Arena and then in the Gymnasium. Wristbands are required only for entrance into the Arena. Gymnasium entrance does not require wristbands. Guests may line up at 3:15 p.m. in the Grand Entry, and wristbands will be distributed to those waiting in line sometime between 3:30–4 p.m. Once wristbands are acquired, guests may then either join the line for the Arena or leave the campus and return when the doors open.

Please note, only two wristbands are allowed per person in line, first come, first served. Guests arriving after 4 p.m. may pick up their wristbands at the welcome desk while they last. Once all Arena wristbands are distributed, all other guests will be seated in the Gymnasium. Arena and Gymnasium doors will open at 6 p.m. for seating, and the program begins at 6:30 p.m.

There is an official Spirit Week Handbook detailing everything, including dress-up themes, rules, games, music/dance guidelines, etc. Be sure to check Instagram for updates and pictures of the preparations and fun!

Can I attend the performances during the day?

Yes—if your student is performing in a big event that day.

If you would like to receive email notifications before a broadcast goes live, you will need to sign up for an account through Livestream.
