Four years ago the class of 2014 entered U. City as freshmen. Within those four years some of these students have evolved and changed in different ways, and it is evident to their teachers.

When several seniors were freshmen, their English teacher was Ms. Halter, who hasn’t taught 9th grade since 2012. Halter currently has a few of those students in her AP Literature class, including Reneise White, Aaron Little and Alana Mayo.

“It was a pleasure to watch them grow up over the past few years and watch them become young adults,” said Halter. “I think that the AP kids that I teach have outgrown high school and are ready to grow and change even more as people and students. I think that their approach to learning has changed; they want to participate more to further their education and seek out what they don’t already know.”

Another teacher that seniors had as freshmen was World History teacher Mr. Daly. Daly reminisced fondly of the good old days in 2010 when Izaac Tobias and Brandon Grant were fresh from middle school.

“A great deal has certainly changed in the course of four years,” said Daly. “All of them are definitely at different places now than they were back then.”

Math teacher Mr. Kelton taught geometry to some of the seniors as freshmen, but one that stuck out to him was Molly Paterson.

“Molly changed a lot, but she kept her same personality,” said Kelton.

Ceramics teacher Ms. Harkins is rather sentimental towards this year’s senior class.

“This is the first graduating class that I’ve had since they were freshmen,” said Harkins.

Spanish teacher Ms. Abaray can hardly believe that the class of 2014 is about to graduate.

“Good lord, the seniors have changed since their freshman year,” said Abaray.
