There is an emphasis here on academic excellence, but there’s also an importance of high school being a time of fun, where kids are forming lifelong friendships, trying new things, finding real success in something that they feel good about. I’m impressed by how students seek challenge, and I’m interested in continuing to see how they balance that with fun and joy.
