The 8th-grade class was treated to a special visit with Saklan Alumnus and graduate of the Class of 2025, Cam, for a presentation about Head-Royce High School and navigating the high school application process.
Cam shared important information from their own experience as a freshman at Head-Royce and provided encouragement and advice to Saklan’s Class of 2026 about the sometimes daunting transition to high school. Bring specific questions to ask about each high school that you visit, Cam advised, and during your interview, always trust in yourself because when a high school accepts you, they want you there because of who you are.
Finally, Cam emphasized the importance of getting to know their new high school teachers, something that felt they were very well-prepared to do after building close relationships with their teachers here at Saklan.
Cam also described campus life at their high school, including clubs, sports, their advisory group, and academics. Cam recommended that the 8th graders nail down the habit of “marking as done” on assignments in Google Classroom, as this will be very helpful when turning in their high school assignments.
The visit ended with a fun, interactive Kahoot! game designed by Cam and a question-and-answer session.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Cam for sharing their experience, time, and encouragement with our 8th-grade students.
