Welcome, 9th Graders!
Starting high school is a big deal! Thinking about college might feel like it's a long way off, and that's exactly how it should feel right now.
You have four years to grow, explore, and figure out what matters to you, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.

What to Focus on in 9th Grade
Of course, your grades matter, but so do your other choices. Here's what I encourage all 9th graders to keep in mind:
Get involved: try clubs, sports, arts, and community service. Don't worry about how it "looks" yet; just explore what you enjoy.
Build relationships: your teachers and counselors are your allies. Don't be a stranger.
Don't stress about college yet: stay curious, work hard, and the rest will follow.
