1st Month of High School

As a freshman this year, I have learned that high school is very different than middle school. This is my fifth year at Calvary and I love it here. As a small school, we do not change schools for elementary, middle school and high school. We have our own hallways; elementary in one and middle and high school in the other.

We have amazing teachers here that love their jobs and love teaching their students. We have small classes from ten to twenty kids. We all go from class to class with each other like in our own little packs.

In high school, our teachers expect more from us now that we are out of middle school because we are more responsible. This year we have more homework assignments and many more notes. Unlike middle school, our teachers would write down the notes with us as we discussed them. This year most of our teachers think we are more than capable by taking them ourselves as they talk to us.

From being an upper-classmen in middle school, to being the lower-classmen in high school is a drastic difference. In eighth grade we were considered the ‘big kids’ and no one called us names; but now we are the freshmen. The upper-classmen call us ‘freshies’ but we don’t mind it.

Overall I really do enjoy high school. From the exciting new songs we do in band and to the crazy spirit week, it will be much more exciting. I love how Calvary brings us so much closer to God than any other school could. I am so thankful to be at this loving and caring environment.
