With the new school year looming, sports starting, and back to school sales popping up, this year sparks a lot of different goals in everyone.

“My goals for the upcoming school year are mostly academic, I plan to work very hard on my school work to make a great first impression on the colleges I’m looking at applying to,” senior Mason Zeplo said. “I am very excited for my senior year and I hope to make it a great year. I plan to work hard on my school work and I am also looking forward to working with Executive Council as the Treasurer to raise as much money as possible.”

“My goals are to continue to get good grades, help out the Class of 2015 Executive Council and play sports,” junior Dakota Boring said.

College admissions are just around the corner, and for many seniors, graduating and getting into college is a top priority on their to-do lists.

“My goals for this upcoming school year would have to be focusing on my academics so I can get into a good college for next fall. I plan on raising my GPA and taking challenging classes to make my transcript look more impressing,” senior Alyssa Castle said.

“This year my goals are to have the best grades that I can get and to be a good leader and role model as a senior in student council,” senior Reggie Smith said.

For others, sports are one of their main priorities.

“I would love to win counties and make it to districts this year! Beating Dallastown and proving everyone wrong, too,” senior soccer player Aubree Davis said. “[My academic goals] would be staying on track and getting accepted into my dream school PSU!”
