Spring at Gatton

The first week of March marks spring break 2019; a well-deserved break for the students of the Gatton Academy. For the juniors, spring means Advanced Computational Problem Solving. Spring break is the perfect opportunity to catch up on some sleep and prepare for the second half of the second semester of the year. For the seniors, this marks the last eighth of our time at The Gatton Academy. It has gone by incredibly fast, and I cannot believe that this time two months from now we’ll no longer be high school students. Senioritis is setting in for some of us as March equates to the beginning of college decision crunch time. The last batch of college decisions will be coming out throughout the next month, and by May 1 the Gatton Academy Class of 2019 will have all decided where we are going to be spending the next 2-4 years of our lives. It’s a bittersweet time of the year for the seniors at Gatton as we teeter on the brink of the last stretch of high school.

On a more cheerful note, spring at Gatton also means it’s almost time for prom. Junior prom at Gatton was by far my favorite dance of the year, and for myself and a lot of other juniors it was
the first prom I had ever attended. Gatton Academy students have been looking forward to and preparing for prom all semester. Students recently voted on the theme for this years dance: head in the clouds. Prom committee has been working hard on decorations and arrangements for this semester highlight, and it’s something to look forward to as everyone works hard to finish out this last semester strong.
