As a result, the school was always well known for its soccer team and the annual homecoming dance was held in conjunction with a soccer match instead of the more traditional American football game.

When the school was constructed, a decision had been made to cover the gymnasium in carpet for financial reasons as well as for noise reduction.

Because of the school's religious background, there are daily chapel assemblies and it was thought that a carpet would be quieter than wooden flooring.

In 1995, the carpeted basketball court was replaced with more traditional wooden flooring.

The Saginaw News frequently reported that the carpeted floor gave the home team a ten-point advantage and many carpet burns.
