While participating in the walkout on March 14, sophomores Lexi Valdez, Naomi Davis, Maria Engemann, Tanner Sneed and Shayla Crumb-Potmesil sit and hold hands out of respect for the 17 victims of the Parkland, Fla., school shooting. #NationalWalkoutDay was trending globally on Twitter to cover all the walkouts across the country. “We wanted to sit down to make it better because everyone else was standing and talking and laughing, instead of paying attention to the ones who passed away," said Valdez.

“I think school times should start later. I did a Research Methods project for Gold Medallion; the Circadian Rythm for teenagers is to go to bed later and wake up later naturally. I think even starting at 8 o’clock would be beneficial.” said senior Taylor Long.

“I think it should be the same, that way older kids can go home and babysit the younger kids when they get home from school,” said sophomore Evan Fox.
