Aariz Anas, Reporter • May 9, 2025

Final exams are set for the week of May 19 for underclassmen. Students in grades 9 through 11 will begin testing on Monday, May 19, and continue through Thursday, May 22. Exams will take place during the 1st, 3rd, 2nd, and 4th period on A days and 5th, 7th, 6th, and 8th periods on Bdays. Even if students are exempt from an exam, they are required to check in for attendance during that class period. There is no school for students on Friday, May 23.

“I’m trying to finish strong, but it’s definitely a busy week,” sophomore Aadi Bhardwaj said.

Seniors will start final exams earlier, from Tuesday, May 13, through Friday, May 16. Exams and study periods are scheduled during regular block times. Seniors must attend all scheduled periods, including study blocks, to meet attendance requirements. Their last day on campus is Friday, May 16.

“It feels like everything’s happening at once, but I’m excited to finish and move on,” senior Mehran Bhuiyan said.
