Part 3
High School is an amazing journey for our young people. They grow up so fast, take on added responsibility, and are often faced with pressure we don’t see as they navigate grades, sports, friends, fitting in, and newly found independence.
The highs and sometimes lows they experience are all part of the growing process. Sometimes as parents, it’s hard to know when to intervene and when to let them be. Each child is unique in their own way and will choose their path.
May they all find their way with the love, encouragement, and support from parents and families, faculty, staff, and coaches, and our school and community. These kids are the next generation of leaders.
Here are a few thoughts to ponder as we start the new school year.
