Everyone goes to high school once in their life. For some, it’s closer than others. Everyone seems to have different views on high school. Some were nervous, and some were excited. We sent out a Google form to some of the current 8th graders, to get their feedback on how they are feeling about high school. This is what they said…
Anabelle Bailey, Tristen Henry, Zack Li, Skye Kersnar, Jesse Cozine, and Joanna Huang said they were both nervous and excited about high school. Claire Slocum and Audra Miller both said that they were excited about high school. And Kelsey Gummo said that she was nervous.
For people that didn't want their names shared. Five people said they are feeling nervous and excited. Two people said that they are feeling excited, and two people said they are feeling excited.
Things that people said that are making them nervous are changing and the school is much larger than PFMS. Another person said was being the youngest and shortest and there is a bigger chance of not being in class with friends. More things that were said were the large number of classes you could take and or the higher level classes. Two things that almost everyone said were nervous about the size of the school, and the number of people.
We also asked them what classes they are excited about in high school. People who preferred to not have their names in the article responded with Intro to Agriculture, electives, marching band, materials processing, understanding young children, coding, all of them, science, math, and many more!
The next thing that we asked was if people are doing any clubs. Some of the clubs that people said were, Orchestra, Band, Tennis, thespians, track, coding, TSA, art club, marching band, rugby, and quiz bowl.
A lot of kids have very mixed feelings about high school, some can’t even talk about it, and some aren’t ready to be in the same school as their parent(s) (talking from personal experience).
