Our Eighth Grade Community:
In eighth grade, students are preparing for their transition to high school. Our focus is to help students develop good academic habits, greater independence, and a sense of empathy that will follow them into their freshman year. Eighth graders have an opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. bringing history and civics alive. The eighth grade team strives to build unity by starting the school year with a field trip to a local beach, followed by daily small group advisory meetings and other community based experiences. Team building and activities are a priority planned throughout the entire year.
