Tenth Grade

Tenth grade is the year to focus on academics while being able to balance sports and extracurricular activities and enjoying the best part of being a teenager. A major milestone of 10th grade is the PSAT, precursor to the big college admissions exams.

In tenth grade students will continue to shape their reading level and literacy skills. They will be learning and practicing important skills such as citing their own evidence, outlining arguments, and researching their own papers. Their ability to read more difficult texts across a variety of genres increases, as does their vocabulary.

Physics, Chemistry and Biology are taught in an engaging manner yet students need to integrate their math skills. In tenth grade math students have Geometry II, Trigonometry and getting closer to mid-year they delve into Pre-Calculus. Tenth grade is the most rigorous grade and students have to learn to balance the academic load with their social life.

Many of these students are also part of a sport team, math team, STUCO, special interest group while achieving good grades.
