Gold Rush

On Monday, Aug. 18, more than 1700 students attended the first Gold Rush Athletics Pep Rally, featuring coaches, players, student organizations and the Pride of Niner Nation marching band. The event concluded with an invitation to new students to take the field for the inaugural incoming class photo. Go Niners!
