Eighth grade is a transition year in which students move from thinking concretely to more applied, problem-solving processes. This transition includes gradual increase in expectation and weighting but with appropriate work load for middle school. In addition to the core classes, the students are required to take Computer Applications. Also, the opportunity to begin high school level courses is available in Math (Algebra) and Foreign Language (Spanish 1). Students are strongly encouraged to take part in the grade level trip to our nation's capital in Washington, D.C. Most sports and extra-curricular activities are available to 8th graders as student-athletes and talented performers prepare themselves for eventual varsity level participation.
