Do you know your seniors? This semester the Eagle Eye will focus on our seniors. This is our first article out of 4, the second half of this paper will also be posted this quarter, while the rest will be next quarter. This article’s purpose is to find out if we really do know our seniors. We have asked them 6 general questions about themselves so that we can get to know them a little bit more and their experiences. Feel free to come up to them for follow-up questions about themselves!

Even in 9th and 10th grade just try your hardest and in 11th and 12th you can relax a little bit, but you will regret not trying.”
