Big shoes to fill

As the year slowly creeps to an end it’s hard to believe that we will soon be saying goodbye to the seniors and beginning the summer break. When summer comes to a sad end we will be back in school and we will, of course, have a new senior class! The junior class has some big shoes to fill with the legacy left behind by the previous class. With this year’s graduating class making huge leaps in all academic and non-academic areas it’s no surprise it will be hard to let the class go. With great performances in theatre, sports, music, and charity work. The junior class will have to learn from the class before them and follow in the glorious footsteps of the seniors. Thankfully the junior class has watched and learned from the senior class as they took notes on a lot of the things the senior class achieved this year. We had a Science Olympiad team go to state and rank seventh out of a large amount of schools and without the seniors on the team it would have been an impossible achievement. Many senior graduates will be leaving open leadership opportunities to the lower junior class and as the junior class steps up to take a hold on many of the open spaces in classes, sports, and other opportunities. These opportunities only put more pressure on the junior class to be just as good as the class before them. So with this being said it’s going to be interesting to watch how the junior class will adapt and mature over the summer to come back to school the following September and take hold of the senior spot in Westminster Christian High School.
