Early symptoms of the disease- laziness, lack of focus, uncertainty in making decisions- often appear in the fall. By spring, the average high school senior may have completely become disoriented academically.
Senioritis attacks high-achieving, average and struggling students alike. By this time in the school year, most college-bound seniors have turned in their applications and received their acceptance letters. The 30% of seniors who aren’t headed for a higher education may not have figured out what they want to do after graduation.
In Saint Genevieve High School’s senior class of 2008, senioritis relatively seems not to be the issue that other high school seniors are engulfed simultaneously during their senior year. The high participation of seniors in sports, play productions and most importantly homecoming demonstrates that the class of 2008 can have fun during their senior year while maintaining their academics as the utmost importance.
The Class of 2008 proves to the Valiant community an important aspect of their achievement as a class. The first time in _ years there has never been a class who has maintained a grade-point average above a 3.0 until now. Only one percent of the senior class has a grade-point average below a 3.0.
“I am very glad to know that we are not letting senioritis get to us. Not only are the seniors excelling their academics, the seniors are also dominating many of the extracurricular activities. This is our last year in high school and we are doing it big,” said senior Justin Sabino.
Senior John Paul Quiocho also agrees.
“It just proves that academically, the students of Saint Genevieve are getting more intellectual and are having fun learning in class. For the past years, SGHS has struggled to searching teachers with great credentials and with just that 1% it shows that we’ve achieved an unexpected goal.”
The seniors are commencing a legacy for the underclassmen to take the initiative to follow their footsteps and face the odds regardless of the circumstance.
