Hard work and social life doesn't always mix. Many of these students are still learning to adjust to middle school. "It can be hard sometimes because I don't catch on so quick like everyone in my class but I put forth a lot of effort. I am an honors student. I just have to study more and cut down on my play time" said freshman, Danny Porter. According to senior, Kyrek Thomas, having a tough time adjusting was only a small worry. "I was more concerned about am I going to understand the work and will I make good friends. The faculty here is very understanding and they help you a lot" he said.
