With the 2024 school year wrapping up, Souths seniors are excited about college and their future, especially Brenna Goodman ’24. Since our seniors have many half-days in the next few weeks, Goodman is ready to spend some well-deserved time off with her friends and family. “I plan on working during the week once I finish my exams,” Goodman said. “I’ll still have soccer so I’ll have to come back to school for that, which will be different than normal.” Despite these changes, Goodman is excited to get through graduation and succeed in her new life at the University of Michigan.

What do seniors plan to do with their extra days off
