Sometimes they are treated In to Its Own like the High Schoolers — for example while earning part of their tuition on a work job.

This year a major step was taken, showing how much NC’s Junior High has grown. 7th and 8th were split into separate classrooms, with different teachers, and different courses of study. May we introduce — the NC Junior High. Russell Barnell Lei Ferris Tom Boley Mary Jo Ferris Kerry Jividen Joel Cook Debbie Hansen Melissa McDonald
