With the end of the year a mere month away thoughts of summer are intruding Heritage High School student’s minds with thoughts of hot days and cool nights. Yet once the summer days begin to dwindle down students usually face pre-school stress. Subconsciously but constantly worrying about the next school year and what they will accomplish.

To avoid some of this pre-school stress, students from incoming grades sat down and contemplated their goals for the 2017-2018 school year.

Incoming Freshman, Madison Sanders:

• What are your goals for next school year?

“The most important thing for me is making new memories and having a good time. I want to get good grades, make new friends, and work as hard as I can!”
