Grade 8 is an important year where students will take on leadership responsibilities within our school community. As the oldest in middle school, they are seen as role models for younger students, setting an example through their behavior, work ethic, and involvement in school activities. Leadership opportunities, such as participating in STARE, Peer Helpers, Safeties, or organizing various events, help Grade 8 students develop critical skills like communication, teamwork, and decision-making. These experiences not only foster personal growth but also prepare them for greater challenges in high school and beyond.
