Senior night is a special event dedicated to celebrating the achievements and contribution to senior athletes, which is  typically held on their last home game of the season. It serves as a moment to honor their hard work, dedication, and leadership throughout their high school career. As many athletes become more developed from their freshman year to senior year, this gives them a night to reflect on their career.
