When students and teachers were asked what they have planned for 2017 and their thoughts on this year, here is what they had to say:

Jessica Contreras, ’18

“2016 was not a good year because I had a lot of problems. The beginning was fine but the rest of the year did not go as planned. It was stressful. I feel like I am ready for the New year and My new years resolution is to not procrastinate as much.”

Michelle Pacheco, ’19

“This year was not a good year because after winter break Freshman year became complicated and I was very stressed over the summer. There were very few good moments of 2016. My New Years resolution is just to have a positive attitude so I can have positive outcomes and I feel like I am ready for this New Year.”

Mr. Valev, Chemistry Teacher

“It was a great school year for me. It was successful for my academic performance because I was involved after-school with sporting events and such and as a result I grew relationships with teachers and students. In my personal life, my wife found a new job and my kids are doing great in school, I am proud.  For the new year I want to support my school more and focus on the professional learning community so I can help other teachers. I want to improve my teaching skills and develop more activities for my students. For my personal life I want to keep being strong and supportive for my family. I am ready for 2017. “
