Announcements from the Principal

February 8, 2012
Class of 2012,

I just read a piece entitled A Deans Advice to Seniors:  Don’t Slack Off: http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/06/dont-slack-off/?scp=1&sq=martha%20merrill&st=cse

I could not help but think of each of you as you have started your last semester of high school here at Grant. For almost 13 years you have each participated in a version of formal schooling and have participated in what your parents have chosen for you as your career as a student. Some of you have gone the traditional route and attended your neighborhood school while some of you have attended independent schools as part of your schooling career. Some of you have attended schools outside of Oregon while a few of you have even been homeschooled as part of your formal education. What makes each of you unique is how you have arrived to this moment in time. While each of you has walked a unique and personal path, there are paradoxes you share in common as second semester seniors, entering your final semester of high school.
