About:
Mepham High School once again proved that school spirit and service go hand in hand during this year’s Battle of the Classes (BOTC) 2025. While the event is known for its spirited competitions and class rivalries, Mepham students and staff reminded everyone that the true meaning of the night lies far beyond the scoreboard — it’s about unity, purpose, and giving back.
Competition With Heart
Students from every grade level came together for an unforgettable evening filled with challenges, cheering, and friendly rivalry. BOTC has always celebrated the pride and energy of the Mepham community, but at its core, it is about the names on the back of the shirts — the students who choose to use their spirit for good.
This year, their collective efforts resulted in an incredible achievement:
Over $9,000 raised for the Ronald McDonald House.
Supporting Families When They Need It Most
The funds raised will support Ronald McDonald House, an organization that provides housing, comfort, and care for families with seriously ill or injured children. Through their generosity, Mepham students are helping families stay close to their loved ones during the most challenging times.
A Night to Remember
The event was filled with competition, laughter, teamwork, and countless memories shared among the classes. Whether a student was competing, cheering, volunteering, or helping coordinate behind the scenes, everyone played a role in making BOTC 2025 a success.
Student Leadership in Action
Battle of the Classes continues to be a shining example of what student-led service can accomplish. Mepham’s commitment to community support, teamwork, and compassion reflects the core values celebrated in the Community Service Challenge.
Pride in Every Grade
Congratulations to all the participants, advisors, and staff who helped bring this special night to life. Your dedication shows what it means to be a Mepham Pirate — spirited, united, and committed to making a difference.
