As the school year comes to a close, seniors are counting down their final week before graduation. However, the juniors are already stepping into their future roles, embracing newfound privileges that come with their soon-to-be senior status. Their blue class color is now turning into red.
One of the most noticeable changes is the 15-minute early dismissal granted to seniors, a senior privilege. This early release has been a game-changer, offering a head start on after-school activities, jobs, and relaxation time.

“It’s a small taste of what senior year will be like, and it’s definitely a motivator to keep pushing through the last few weeks of school,” said junior Elena Gonzalez.
In addition to leaving early, juniors have been granted the privilege of skipping the lunch line. This change, though minor, has had a significant impact on their daily routines.
“Skipping the lunch line means we actually have time to eat and socialize without feeling rushed,” explained junior Sarah Dager. “It’s one of those little things that makes a big difference in our day.”
As the school year comes to a close, juniors are eagerly anticipating their senior year, feeling more prepared and motivated than ever. The early privileges have not only been a welcome surprise, but also a reminder that their time to shine is just around the corner.
Beyond the perks, juniors are experiencing a growing sense of unity as they prepare to become the next senior class. This sense of community is forming stronger relationships among the juniors, who are finding new ways to bond and support one another. From collaborative study groups to spirited participation in school events, the juniors are laying a solid foundation for a cohesive and dynamic senior year.
“We’ve learned a lot from the current seniors about what it means to lead and support each other,” said junior Justin Pastor. “We’re ready to take on that role and make a positive impact.”
