The freshmen’s underrated takeover! The Class of 2030 brought some amazing energy to DTR, more than anyone expected. They were loud, excited, and made sure everyone knew they were there. They came pretty close to matching the seniors’ energy, which is impressive for their first DTR at Hayward High!
Prior to the rally, we asked freshman Nazanin Miakhail about her idea of DTR and what it means to her. She explained, “DTR is when all the students march downtown and have a rally. Then, that same day there is a football game. DTR is basically showing school spirit and showing up and showing out for your class.”
With so many students showing up, the rally was packed with excitement and school spirit. The freshmen did a good job making sure their class was heard. Their Grinch-themed float also helped them stand out.
The frosh cheerleaders also did an amazing job at the rally. They brought a lot of energy to their performance and helped keep not only their own section excited, but the other sections excited as well.

The freshmen ended up placing fourth, but they had the energy to place higher, considering the effort and enthusiasm they brought to DTR. Hopefully, they keep that same energy for next year’s rally and come back even stronger. They have plenty of time to improve and build on what they did this year. The Class of 2030 has a lot of potential, and we hope they can stay dedicated and rise up the ranks in the future at DTR!
