Since 2015 the Royal Rumble gives incoming students a chance to learn the ins and outs of HSE by socializing with spirited upperclassman to whom they can turn to throughout the year; meeting new classmates from all walks of life; talking to members of student clubs; taking home their first official HSE class t-shirt; and shaking hands with school mascot Roary, the principal, and the rest of the faculty team!

Led by upperclassman mentors, incoming students get behind-the-scenes building tours complete with tips and tricks on navigating life as an HSE student. Want to know the best place to sit for lunch? Or where to go when you've lost your student ID? We've got you covered. Three activities include an introduction to school spirit with the pep band, Blue Crew, and cheerleaders; practice the school song and cheers; a welcome to HSE from the building principal and upperclassmen mentors; and an official start to student life at as a Royal!

There will also be resources for getting involved in clubs and activities, a chance to ask questions and get answers from upperclassmen and teachers, and a database of contacts within the building. The signature feature of the event is a pep rally, building excitement entering the new school year as Royals rally around each other under a common blue banner.
