By Stacey Wells ’15 When I entered my sophomore year, I wasn’t involved in any clubs or organizations here at Sherwood. My mom and I argued about it (well, more of her making a decision and me resisting) that I was to join something that year and it better be interesting. I refused to stay long hours after school and … Read More
By Jack Armstrong ’15 I have always known what I wanted to do after high school: be a filmmaker. As high school comes to an end, it’s hard to explain the level of passion and dedication I have for filmmaking. Most people would probably assume I just like to sit around watching movies and TV shows (and I do to … Read More

By Catherine Jou ’15 I don’t know who I am, what I will be like in the future and how I was perceived through this purgatory we call high school.

By Brian Hughes ’15 The thought that some people have about your four years of high school being some of the best in your life is a questionable one to me. For my sake, at least, I hope it’s not so.
