The importance of school pride and its influence on students.
School Pride
What is school pride? Taking pride in one's school is important, but what exactly is it? Although it is found in some way on every campus, school pride has not yet been properly defined. Whatever it may be, students demonstrate pride in their school in various ways. Even though the origins of spirit are unknown, students continue to feel the need to show pride towards their school. Illustrations of pride can be seen in numerous places within school life such as: participation in spirit activities, wearing school colors, and representing one's school through team sports.
As though student involvement was not important enough, parental involvement continues to be a driving force in the well-being of a school.

In order for kids to be more successful, parents must be actively involved in their achievements.

If a student is not driven by the desire to help their school, in most cases, neither are his/her parents.

As long as students are allowed to dress freely, they will find a creative way to mark their territory. While uniforms are mandatory, most students will go the extra mile when presented with the chance to dress up.

School pride
Yes, you do have some good points but the main thing that sticks out to me is that you start this essay by making a point of saying that school pride has yet to be defined. Your own definition is somewhat elusive. "Whatever it may be, students demonstrate pride in their school in various ways." You give information about school pride and what it involves throughout the entirety of the essay but do not give a clear cut definition of what it is even though that is one of the main purposes of your essay according to the thesis paragraph.
