Liy- Loustere he New Direction that North Staf- ford area has seen in the past year have been taken most people by surprise. Even though this change was not directly associated with our school this work on Route 610 affected everyone. North Stafford High School saw many changes in its policies that gave a birth to a metamorphosis. One change that some in our school hated was the closing of the smoking area. The closed lounge, which non-smokers loved, became the Senior Court, where seniors only could go on their lunch break. Another change that was a shock to everyone was the changing of the grading scale. Our old nine weeks grading period shrunk to a six weeks grading period. This change produced mixed emotions. Our school has also grown tremendous- ly in size. Not only are there more stu- dents but faculty as well. We witnessed many changes this year. Hopefully all of us grew with the time and directions that changed around us.

New Directions Of Students’ Lives alt lives of the North Stafford students and the community have gone in New Directions. Whether it is an academic life, social life, or a working life, students always seem to be on the run. With an extended summer, students were able to “get away” and do more things. Students’ personalities have also changed. Most students are focusing on being themselves and being more individual. The growing number of students has led to another change in Stafford County: construction. Over the past year and a half, construction along the dreaded Rt. 610 has affected many of our lives. New businesses, houses, and roads will certainly lead us all in New Direction in the near future.
