For those who still walk to their classes every day, leaving the school will be hard. The first day of school here was so scary. That is something I'll never forget. Christy Mietz, a ninth-grader, says she is sad to leave the school, where teachers have gone out of their way to help students. We're scared to leave because here there's not that many people and everybody knows everybody.
High school is way different.
Students and teachers at Southeastern will move to different schools throughout the district next fall. Ninth-grade social studies teacher William Elliott said his three years at the school will give him positive memories. It's been a nice experience. What Elliott wants to stress the most is that the school is not closing. It's just going to change.
