Mrs. Hamilton's Room - Tips for thriving in high school, for students and parents
A safe space where student stories are shared and reveal how each challenge has a way forward by building confidence. With that confidence, students will stay motivated and be equipped with a positive mindset resulting in success during those high school years. With a positive mindset, students are more productive and capable of managing stress when it comes. As high school students move closer to graduation, some topics will help in the preparation for college admissions' success and aid in building confidence in the transition between high school and college. Parents will also benefit from the wisdom provided for a successful high school to college path, as well. Mrs. Hamilton encourages students and parents to reflect, reset and renew their thinking by offering strategies which help to provide a more positive outcome in high school, college and beyond.
