Junior Class Trip

Before the start of classes, the Junior class embarked on a rite of passage for virtually all of the St. Luke's student body; the college search. The entire class traveled with eight chaperones to North Hampton, MA. While the trip is designed to help the class bond, we felt it was even more important for the class learns how to begin the college search process. We started the first night with an exercise to challenge the student's biases. The exercise is only as good as the participants and Sonia and I were very pleased with the honesty and maturity the class showed. We used this exercise to help show the type of honesty, self-reflection and critical thinking needed to successfully search for the right college fit.

The next day, the class split up into eight groups and we were able to see Amherst, Hampshire and UMass Amherst. For some of the class, these were relevant schools, and for many-these schools were a terrific starting ground to learn how to actively search for what they were looking for!
