Summer Reading 2023

This year's 9th-grade common reading choice is Almost American Girl, by Robin Ha. All incoming freshmen should be prepared to discuss and write about this book during the first week of school. Freshmen should also read one additional book of their choice and be prepared to discuss their free choice book on the Advisory Day.

Any rising 10th-12th grader is welcome to choose the 9th-grade common read. However, we are inviting the entire school community to select and read a book of choice, provided it is a good-faith effort to find something that the reader will actually enjoy, that fits who they are as a person, that they feel comfortable sharing, and that they haven't read before. This is a new experiment and one that is based on the kind of character virtues that we hope to find or instill in our students: responsibility, honesty, integrity, self-discipline, and more.

Finally, Honors and AP students have additional reading requirements found here.
