Changes are everywhere. But for most sixth graders, going into middle school is the biggest one. It was a hard change for some as the curriculum changed and so did schedules and friends, but eventually we got used to it. Many people are new to Stratford Preparatory and come from many different, non-Stratford schools. Our Stratford community has done a great job welcoming them and making them feel like they belong in this wonderful campus. Other than our new students we have also made many new additions to the faculty. Also, there have been new locked installations to accommodate the large surplus of students and there is a new fire alarm system being installed and improvements to the gym. This year, we are introducing two new 8th grade cohorts, 8H and 8I! As the new changes are hard to adapt to, we praise our Stratford Community for all their help and dedication in fostering our education.


We would also like to welcome our new teachers onto our campus!
