James Campbell High School

back outside to play games with my friends, eager to share my day with them. Unlike other girls in my elementary school who had a girl friend groups, I grew up with mostly boys my age in my neighborhood and we’ve been best friends as far as I can remember. Since I spent most of my childhood around boys, I wasn’t interested in playing with barbies and dolls. Rather, during school recesses, we would play tag, basketball and soccer, which excites me way more than…

epic party for after the graduation ceremony. We had all been preparing for the day that I would say goodbye to high school and hello to adulthood. I did not realize what an enormous impact such a ceremony would have on me until the very day of my graduation ceremony had come. The day of my graduation ceremony began like any other school day. I got dressed at 5:30 and arrived at school at 7:00 for our class picture. I was so excited to see my friends again until I realized that none of them…

This semester has been a real eye opener for me. I have been exposed to many opportunities to grow. I have had the opportunity to observe in three different schools. I began teaching English to ninth and tenth graders two weeks ago. It has been my pleasure to meet and work with several well-respected seasoned teachers through out the semester. They have provided me with much needed advice, help, love and redirection. I have had several eye opening moments related to “myself” as a teacher and my…

Delayed school start times have been tested to see if this change could combat the negative effects of sleep deprivation. Studies have shown evidence to support this strategy, but there was also one case that did not show an effect in terms of grades. Overall, academic…

transition from middle to high school is a pivotal point for most Americans and what you decide to do after that determines how the rest of your life pans out. There is a recurring problem of students dropping of high school each year because of things that happen inside or outside of school, also known as push and pull factors. The most simplest things can push or pull out of high school and turn your life completely around such as a family death or you are getting bullied at school. The…

about high school teenagers, "perfect" is probably one of the last words that come to mind, and not without good reason. We aren 't always the wisest people on the planet and lack in some areas more than others. I can easily say so for myself, and yes, although I am ashamed of not being able to keep up with certain subjects as well as others, I search for ways to keep myself going and overcome any difficulty in said areas, in my case, math and history. I remember back in middle school, I had…

I had adjusted fairly well to each class until my junior year in high school where I took AP biology. This was a brand new class in our school with a new teacher, so I had no idea for what to expect. I had no other student or teacher to ask how this class would be, but I took my chances. This was a completely different class than any I had taken before…

young, it was the pinnacle of success. It’s hard for us to recall every waking moment and emotion we have experienced in the past, I can’t remember everything that happened to me my freshman year, I just remember the major moments, the first day of high school, and making new friends. When I think of being fourteen I don’t think about being too young to do things or too old to do others but when I see the freshman today, I seem to distinctly remember “never acting that way” or “never dressing…

We plan to set up a meeting with school counselors to promote Future college scholars and explain the process that students will go…
