Ninth Graders Visit the High School

On Tuesday, February, 23 2016 the ninth grade students took eight buses to Springville High School. They were taken to the auditorium and told about all the classes they can take during their tenth grade year. 

According to Mrs. Gleave, a math teacher, this is a great opportunity for the students to have a chance to see what the high school is like. Mrs. Gleave said, “I think the orientation day is awesome.  It gives students a chance to see the school while classes are in session.  That experience is quite different from attending a basketball game or school play.”

Many students were both excited and a little nervous to go to Springville High School. According to  Shane Stapel, a ninth grader, he was excited that he will have more options about classes to take. According Brynn Dinkel, a ninth grader, she was excited, but is also a little scared.

 High school is when you start thinking about what you want to do. Students take classes that will help them get closer to their goals in life. Shane Stapel said, “I want to be an actor, so I'm going to take classes to get closer to that goal.” Some of the classes he said he wanted to take were choir, drama, and welding.
