HOW DID WINSTON PREPARE YOU FOR HIGH SCHOOL?
Winston prepared me for high school by teaching me how to learn in my own individual way. Learning for some people is difficult, and Winston taught me how to overcome that challenge and truly succeed in the long term.
 
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCES?
Some of my favorite high school experiences included getting to know my teachers, engaging in the campus, and meeting lifelong friends.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR WINSTON STUDENTS PREPARING TO MOVE ON?
It's a challenge going from one school to another and is especially difficult going from Winston to high school. Transitioning from a small environment to a larger one with bigger class sizes takes time. It's important to give yourself a semester to get used to your new surroundings. And remember, speak and reach out for help, High school teachers truly are great resources.
