WELCOME TO GRADE 9!
This year we will explore the question "Who Am I?" through the following lenses:
What is a productive learning environment for me?
What are my character strengths?
What kind of personality do I have?
What is important to me?
Who am I?
We look forward to joining you on this journey of self-exploration!

Highlights from Last Month
In efforts to encourage social connections and promote overall wellness, the Counseling department received a great opportunity to put together a period of “Well-being” activities for all 9th grade students on Thursday, October 8. Students engaged in various activities involving mindfulness, get-to-know games, and art therapy. |
Seminar Resources
During seminar class, seminar teachers and counselors will meet with students for exploring the "Who am I?" question, as well as learning study skills, time management, and other topics determined from our needs-based assessment of our student body. When there is not a scheduled lesson, the seminar class will be a study period.
