New School High School Program

Middle school to high school is a big jump from not only school to school but also new people coming into our school, harder academics, sports are now a part of your school life, and a jump from school to school. My thoughts on high school have really changed over the past few weeks. When I first realized that we we're going to be in high school shortly, I got a little freaked out. Although I know alot of high schoolers and specific people that go to West I still feel overwhelmed by the fact that i'm going from a 600 person school to a 1,200+ person school. For the longest time I felt if high school would be the hardest part of my life and getting accustomed to the new setting would be hard for me, I thought the people there we're mean and

Zoe, Zoe Sunny Conti was the most popular and prettiest at Pinnacle high school at least that was what she thought. Her father was one wealthy man, he owned a company and Zoe had fancy expensive clothing and the newest iphone with nice luxurious cars that her father owned, she, herself owned a Range Rover. Though she was known well at school there was another girl her name was Kaylee Chloe Parsons her ex-bestie, their whole friendship ended because of a guy that they both liked, which the guy moved to Oregon the next year. Anyway back to Zoe and Kaylee, stopped being friends sophomore year and they always try to be better than one another in everything, throwing the better party, looking the best, having the most expensive brand clothing, dating the “hotter” guy, everything even P.E. dodgeball. Kaylee wasn't her enemy this time as the days went on. One day her dad got home she was in the living room watching a movie while she looked at her dad and he looked sad, upset just not in the bestest of the mood, she wondered why this must of been

The clothes on her skinny body are the same dark grey soccer hoodie and skinny khaki pants every day. It is like she wants to show off her legs while hiding her torso. Allie walks through the halls with her shoulders slightly slouched, most likely from the weight of her heavy book bag that shows her intelligence. She is not very sloppy except for her loose, messy ponytail. From her body, she appears to be intelligent and modest on top but still wants to fit in on bottom.

Starting a completely new school and not knowing how to get around is honestly not as easy as it seems, especially if you have never even been to that school. Moving from middle school to High school is hard it’s a big change, the school might be much bigger and the classes are different also.

As a public high school teacher, I have seen hundreds of students walk in and out of my classroom over the last 12 years, and Alejandra is in the top 1% of students who have had a positive impact on me. I cannot say enough about her character and integrity. She is resilient and has been an

Brooke- We thank you all for coming to this special occasion in our lives. We will start to move forward to high school, college, and beyond. Just like the past, we will gain and lose new friends in our high school years. We are ready to move forward into the next chapter of life. We have worked so hard to become the eighth grade class of 2016 and become the top of the school. Now we will drop back to the bottom and work our way up to being Seniors. You will follow us and watch us on this last chapter of school.

She always wears black or dark skinny jeans. Although, BAM! She wears crazy shirts like, galaxy shirts with cats flying, and skull T-shirts. She even had a galaxy bookbag and converse, but they wore out. She wears converse’s, chokers, and rings.

My eighth grade year has been a crazy year. There has been a lot of work and preparation for moving into high school. Eighth grade was my last year as a middle schooler. I am sad but also excited for what's to come. I assume that I will like high though. This year has had highs but it's also had its lows. Overall I have enjoyed this year quite a bit. I have enjoyed my whole middle school career, I guess you could say it has been fun. I am excited to move on though and see what's to come.

The high school years seem to fly by and this year is no different. As we enter into fourth marking period, it is nice to look back and reflect on all that your children have accomplished. The transition from middle school to high school is not an easy one, for the student or the parents. We hope that we helped to make it a bit easier for them. Thank you for your support throughout the school

It was eighth grade year and the time came to decide what school I would be attending for the next four years at the high school level. At the time, I was attending a small catholic elementary school, Regina Coeli, where there were only twenty students in my class. There was no high school to directly advance to from Regina Coeli, once you finished your eighth grade year you split off from everyone else and were forced to choose the high school in which you would attend. Who knew going to high school was going to be a significant change for me environmentally and academically.

Sophomore year was a year of change, tough decisions, and many hardships. My parents had just gotten back together from what felt like an endless six months of separation. Their marriage was still rocky as well as my trust in my dad. While it seemed as if my life was starting to fall back into place, I was hit with a major curveball. My dad had lost his job causing instability in an already unsteady family. After a few months of searching my dad found a job. Except, his new job would take us to Grand Rapids, Michigan requiring us to leave our home in Arizona. This meant that when sophomore year came to an end I would be leaving everything I knew to start a new life 1,564 miles away. At first I was adamantine to moving and was willing to do

Adrianna shows an interest in listening to stories read to her by the teacher and enjoys retelling stories and poems with her friends. In October, the class learned the poem Five Little Pumpkins. She enjoyed using picture cut outs of pumpkins to retell the poem in proper sequence with her friend. She became so confident in retelling the poem that she volunteered for a role when we performed the poem for the staff and children at the Family Learning Centre and did an excellent job! Adrianna demonstrates an interest in writing. She sometimes adds labels to her drawings and during dramatic play with big blocks will make signs for the structures she has created with friends. Adrianna really enjoys walking around the room with a clipboard copying
