He currently has a weighted GPA of 4.6. This year at school he has played on the JV and Varsity Football team, Varsity Basketball team, and was on the Varsity Track team. When asked what his plans were after high school, he answered, “I plan on going on a 2 year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

COUNSELORS CORNER


Our students continue to amaze us! Advanced Placement students have been busy this week! They've completed Spanish, English Literature, and US History, with Calculus, Human Geography, English Language, and World History scheduled for next week. A good score on an AP test can get students college credit, so it's important that they study, sleep well, and eat a good breakfast.


Our various support groups have been a great experience and we appreciate our students who want to learn how to better cope with their different struggles. Though we are winding down for this year, we will be starting a new set of groups when school resumes. If you feel your child can benefit from help with anxiety, depression, anger, etc. please contact their counselor to get them signed up.


Seniors who are struggling with a class or working to catch up, it's even more important now to get help so that you don't jeopardize your ability to walk with your class. Keep up the hard work...it's worth it!
