High school dropouts -- a growing problem in our society‚ or is it? After hearing about dropouts heading back to school to receive a diploma on the local news‚ I often wonder what they were missing out on. I mean‚ does a dropout really need to head back only to solve a quadratic equation or to write an five paragraph essay on The American Revolution?

A motto repeated here at John F. Kennedy High School is‚ “Respect is the key to success.” This idea shapes the lives of students and staff every school year.

A well-developed life can never be established if you are constantly disrespected and push around. What happens when people don’t respect others? In school‚ disrespecting your peers creates an uncomfortable

from the middle school to the high school was definitely a hard task to do. I was constantly worried about getting lost‚ and not being able to find my way around. When I first arrived at the high school‚ I was very intimidated by the size of the high school and a number of hallways and classrooms in the building.

We all seem to think of the same things when we picture "high school". Cheerleaders‚ proms‚ report cards‚ football games. We all remember the A honor roll students‚ and how much time they spent studying. The thing that I have always questioned is‚ do children that come from lower status families do worse in school than ones from higher status families?

Every school you attend is going to have different types of groups or as most people call them “cliques” no matter where you go‚ all schools have them. These are small groups of kids with common interests and who have lots of things in common. The types of “cliques” you associate yourself with are always so important to kids these days. Being a part of a popular “clique” usually brings you up on the social scale and that’s what so many kids focus on. It always matters who you hang out with‚ what

tops worn by students at Upper Perkiomen High School should not completely eliminated without spoken reasoning. Listed as the seventh rule in the student handbook‚ it is stated‚ “Tank tops‚ tube tops‚ halter tops‚ muscle shirts‚ and garments with spaghetti straps are not permitted in school” (52).

Students have never
