        As Seen In The Image: Worst Holiday Experiences

        "Back when I was around 7, my twin sister went to my parent's room and went through all of my gifts and told me what they were. Like, she told me I got a Barbie Dream House because it wasn't wrapped yet. I got really mad at her and had to act fake surprised when I opened my presents on Christmas morning," Hannah Muse, junior, said.

        Social Studies teacher Steve Klawiter will have his AP World History class take the digital exam this May. He said he looks forward to seeing how his students will perform on the exam. “It's been very clear they're moving towards digital. Since the pandemic started, they've been putting the pieces in place to go digital," Klawiter said. “I think that ultimately it’s going to be more beneficial because with systems like Canvas and Google Classroom, students are used to more digital activities and less handwriting activities.”
