Dube seems genuine when talking about this years seniors and how sad he is to see them go.

“I am going to miss the senior class,” says Math teacher, Richard Dube.

The school year is quickly coming to an end for seniors as they only have a couple weeks remaining.

It seems that many students have different plans after high school; some involving college and others jumping directly into a job. However, regardless to what they have planned, the Class of 2018 has made lots of memories throughout the past four years at Triton High School. Some are sad to let these years go, and others are ready to move onto their futures.

Students and teachers around the school all have different emotions when it comes to the Class of 2018 moving onto the next chapter of their lives.

“I’ve had a lot of these kids for the past two years and I’m really going to miss them,” says Dube.

“I’ve started to really like them not only as students, but as people. We’ve had a lot of fun together.” In the contrast to Mr. Dube’s sadness of seeing the senior class leave, other students are not feeling the same way.

“It is what it is,” says Josh Darcy, a senior at Triton High School. “I am obviously going to miss my friends, but I will make new ones in the next four years of college that will most likely be my best friends for the rest of my life.”

This is usually how things work with college according to Jason Potter, a graduate from Bridgewater State University.

“My college experience was the most fun I have had in my life. The friends and memories I made in those four years are ones that I will never forget,” says Potter.

Other seniors feel the complete opposite way, and think that leaving high school and moving on means that they will lose some of the best friends that they have ever made.

“All of my friends are leaving me for colleges that are far away,” says senior Justin Stanley, who is staying in Massachusetts for college.

“Like what am I even supposed to do on the weekends now?”

Art teacher Ms. Toni MacDonald-Fein feels similarly to Dube in the sense that she has made so many great connections within the senior class.

“I have had some of the seniors in my class for all four years of their high school experience,” says Fein “It’s definitely going to be hard to say our goodbyes.”

A freshman at University of San Diego and a graduate from Amesbury High School, Janae Petipas, gives advice to seniors going into their first year of college.

“You have to balance school work and your social life,” says Petipas.

“I’ve found such a great circle of friends at school. I became really close with my roommate and I have built great friendships and have already made so many memories.”

These young adults have spent the past 12 years of their lives living off of a structure of Public Education and moving on to college or real life work is something that cannot be simulated in a highschool environment. As for us here at Triton Voice, we wish everyone moving on to new chapters good luck.
