On Monday, April 13th, the senior class and members of the student council visited Busch Gardens in Tampa. In celebration of their win in the 2014-2015 spirit contest, the class of 2016 finally embarked on the much anticipated trip. As a reward for their hard work, six student council members also participated in the fun and spent the day in the African Safari.

Here’s what the trip-goer’s thought about the day:
