Game Behavior and Trevian Pride
Our students learn to “Be Brave, Be Kind, Be Proud,” and we expect that behavior to apply on and off the field. Despite the excitement of being under the big lights, this remains a high school game, and we are Evanston’s guests. This is a school event, and all New Trier School rules governing student behavior, including the Extracurricular Code of Conduct, will apply.
As at all IHSA games, alcohol will not be permitted at Ryan Field. There will be no tailgating allowed in the parking lots. We ask our adult fans to be good role models for our high school students by demonstrating sportsmanship and responsible behavior.
School Spirit Showdown
The football game isn’t the only friendly rivalry taking place. New Trier and Evanston’s Foundations are competing for the most donations in their annual School Spirit Showdown. Every donation counts! The school with the most donations collected between Sept. 1 and Oct. 16 will win bragging rights. Donate HERE by game day.
We can’t wait for you to help us cheer on the Trevians on Oct. 16. Go Trevs!
