The countdown to the end of the year has begun with seniors having a total of thirteen school days left and everyone else having a total of nineteen days. Although the prospect of summer and the end of the school year is exciting, it cannot proceed without the dreaded event of finals. Seniors will take their tests at an earlier date but for the rest of the school finals will be the Tuesday and Wednesday before school gets out. The odd periods will have class on Tuesday and the even periods will have class on Wednesday. Preparation for final exams has already begun in many classes. Be prepared and start studying ahead of time. If you want to make it to summer, you have to make it through finals.
