The sophomore class at Robert C Byrd is up to activity on their High School careers. Even though it feels like they were just preparing themselves for their first day of high school yesterday. “It is always weird trying to plan your future at your sophomore year, but it helps a lot because it gets practice in when you have to do it alone”, said senior Alisia Moore.

That way when you wake up every morning and put on the ring you see the year 2016. It will help motivate you more to work hard to succeed to your goal and graduating on time with your class.
