All Junior High students are required to attend enrichment. Enrichment classes were designed for junior high students to be taught curriculum and learn skills that are not taught during the school day.
For 7th graders, they spend two days a week in a study hall supervised by Ms. Randall. This is a time for students to work on homework, study for tests or quizzes, or stay organized and make sure their planners are filled out completely and properly for all their classes.
The other two days, 7th graders attend Ms. Davis’ Preparing for High School Success class. There are three focuses for this class: career development, study skills, and leadership. This is also the class where 7th graders learn about the GEAR UP program and all the fun things they will get to do in junior high and high school because of it!
8th graders spend two days per week in Mrs. Palmer’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) class and two days per week in Mr. Morris’ Study Skills class.
The STEM class provides students with exciting opportunities to explore STEM concepts in fun and hands-on ways. The Study Skills class aims to teach students the skills they need to succeed right now in school.
Overall, these enrichment classes have been a great success. These classes are made possible through the GEAR UP grant and are an exciting opportunity for the students in Troy.
