End of the year preview
April 24, 2014
As the school year comes to a close, students become overwhelmed with various deadlines, events, competitions, homework, and exams. While the freshmen are happy to move up in the food chain, sophomores start to dread the homework that IB entails, juniors become ecstatic to be the top dogs, and seniors feel the bittersweet emotions of graduating and leaving high school behind forever. No matter the grade, students (and teachers) have a hectic few weeks ahead of them.
