Spirit Week took place the last week of October. All of the classes represented their class spirit by participating in activities and dressing up for each spirit day.

Before the Friday of Nation Ball, the classes went against each other during lunch time activities that consisted of volleyball, musical chairs, basketball, and Guess the Disney song. After a week long of activities, the juniors finished in first place, sophomores in second, seniors in third, and freshmen in last place. On the Friday of Nation Ball, each class wore their spirit shirt and represented their class color. All the classes played intense games of Nation Ball against each other. Even HMSA staff and alumni joined in during the last round. Surprisingly, most of the staff had great Nation Ball skills.

The first round pitted the seniors against the freshmen. Because freshmen are new to the game, the seniors won the round. In the following round, juniors played against sophomores and juniors won. Next, the two winning teams played against each other and the seniors won again. In the penultimate round, the original losing teams went against each other, and the sophomores won. Seniors battled against staff and alumni in the last round. The seniors narrowly won by hitting Mr. Berumen with the tenth ball.

After coming in third during the lunchtime activities, the seniors made a comeback and came in first place. Right after the seniors were the juniors in second place, sophomores in third, and freshmen in last place.
