Top 10: staff members to dress up as for Halloween October 20, 2022 — by Anika Kapasi Photo by Anika KapasiEnglish teacher Erick Rector and campus supervisor Archie Ljepava, the top two staff members to dress up as, posing together. A fabulous guide to finding the best halloween costumes ever. AP Computer Science teacher Brandon Peterson Peterson is the easiest teacher to dress up as: Wear a sweater and an extra large beanie to cover your forehead, then add an oversized mask. Science teacher Kirk Davis Dress up like Isaac Newton with a long coat and a white wig to represent our amazing physics teacher. English teacher Marcos Cortez A mohawk is essential to capture the essence of Cortez. Wear casual jeans with a nice button up to finish off the fascinating look. Journalism adviser and English teacher Michael Tyler I don’t think I’ve ever seen Tyler in anything but a red T-shirt and khaki pants. No jacket. I repeat, no jacket because Tyler thrives in the Arctic climate otherwise known as the Journalism Room. English teacher Amy Keys Think cute, eclectic English teacher with good vibes. Wear a white cardigan or a blouse, with a low bun, slim fit jeans and classy shoes. Science teacher Lisa Cochrum If you want to wear something fun and bold, Cochrum’s outfits are perfect — cargo shorts are a must with entertaining scientific graphic shirts. Don’t forget sandals, as her shoe game is on point. Music director Micheal Boitz All you need is a casual suit (preferably blue with dark gray pants), a caffeine addiction from Phil’s coffee (because he is “too good for Starbucks”) and a bright smile on your face. Don’t forget the sleep deprived look — due to his adorable but energy-consuming twins — but students are already professionals in that area. History teacher Jerry Sheehy I guarantee you probably already have the costume, especially if you are a teenage boy. Wear a Warriors jersey and bright, neon basketball shorts — then you will be in a golden state (pun intended). Campus supervisor Archie Ljepava Has Ljepava ever worn anything but Falcon merchandise? His outfits always scream school pride. The long-sleeved jersey and shorts combo is unforgettable. Don’t forget the iconic bright, red or white hat. For extra accessories: a golf cart. English teacher Erick Rector Rector’s outfits give me Yogi Bear vibes. The classic tie and cardigan combo is unmatched with his snazzy dress shirts. Receding hairline preferred, but not required. 1 view this weekAbout the contributorsAnika KapasiAnika Kapasi (she/her), Class of ‘25, is a Sports Editor for the 2023-24 staff and previously served as a Reporter and Layout Artist for the 2022-23 school year.
