From Getting Lost to Pep Rallies: My 9th Grade Experience
Carter Hartfield
Being in 9th grade is amazing! I love all my classes—they're fun and engaging. The only tricky part at first was navigating the campus. Skyline is enormous, and during my first week, I kept getting lost. I didn't know where to go without help, but everyone was friendly and helped me figure it out.
One of the most remarkable experiences we've had so far was the freshman pep rally. It was awesome! I watched as students ran across the gym on their classmates' hands—it was wild. The Skyline Raider Band played and sounded incredible, and the drum majors, cheerleaders, and silhouettes all performed in front of the 9th-grade class. It made me feel like I was truly a part of Skyline.
There are so many sports and after-school activities to try. As a freshman, I feel very excited to be here. The school has a lot to offer, and the education is excellent as well. The teachers are very likable and know what they're doing. Most of the time, they make class enjoyable and easy to understand.
I'm also part of the Legal Studies program, and I thoroughly enjoy it. In just the first two months, we've already gone on two field trips and started preparing for our first Mock Trial competition. Our classroom is equipped with everything we need—laptops, computers, printers, and supplies I can use whenever I need to complete my homework.
But the most impressive part is the courtroom. It's still under construction, but we have already spent a lot of time on it, preparing for court. Being in this program has encouraged me to speak up and find my voice as an advocate. It's been a fantastic experience.
