10th Grade
Welcome to 10th Grade
Welcome back from what we hope was a relaxing, fun filled summer. As you start a new school year, take a moment to look back at 9th grade to consider what you have accomplished personally and academically as well as what you would have liked to have accomplished. Doing so can help you identify goals for the coming year and setting goals is an important part of what is needed for you to achieve your very best.
