Hornets and Jackets

The Hornet-Jacket competition is one of the most enjoyable aspects of Buffalo Seminary; it's also one of Sem's oldest traditions, dating back to 1916.

Upon entrance into the school, every student, faculty, and staff member becomes either a Hornet or a Jacket. The two teams then battle it out and try to win points in different contests throughout the year, such as the Famous Faces contest, Spirit Week, Hornet-Jacket Day, the Turkey Hunt, Halloween costume contest, Holiday door-decorating contest, and Puttin' on the Hits.

At the end of the year, the points are tallied, and the name of the winning team is  engraved on the Hornet-Jacket cup.
