Entering high school marks a major turning point, shifting for the small middle school hallways and entering the big hallways of high school. It can bring you a mix of emotions like excitement, fear, and anxiety. You realize that for the next four years you will be shaping your future.

8th grader Shaelyn Lecompte said “I’m ready to get out of middle school, but it is still nerveracking to enter high school. She was asked about her schedule and here is what she had to say: “I’m scared to get my schedule because I’m all advanced and I don’t know if I will have a lot of friends in my classes.” Shaelyn is choosing to try out for the high school freshmen cheer team. She is really excited to try out and nervous at the same time. She is very excited about AP Geography and she is least excited about French because there is no teacher. 

Another 8th grader Carlyle Palmer says “I’m excited to leave middle school but I’m a bit nervous for high school.” Carlyle is also trying out for the cheer team and she is very excited for that. For Carlyle’s schedule she is really nervous to see if she will have any friends in her classes. She is doing mostly advanced classes and she said “I just want at least one friend in each of my classes, and I really want to have lunch with a lot of my friends.”
