Middle/High School
Feature Writer: Kellie Hayden
Middle school and high school can be memorable years for students, teachers and parents. Friendships, peer pressure, dating, driving, extra curricular commitments, academic pressure, and transitioning to adulthood make middle school and high school the best and the worst time of many people’s lives.
