8TH GRADERS GO TO DHS!

On Monday, March 19th, the SMS class of 2018, is heading over to Downey High for a tour of the campus, as well as a chance to see some of the classes in action. In addition, incoming freshmen will attend an informational session where they will meet their high school counselors and learn more about choosing and registering for classes.

All students should dress appropriately and bring a hoodie or jacket, as it will probably be on the cool side. Also, students will be doing a lot of walking. So, ladies leave your stilettos at home. Wear comfy shoes!
