The principal announced his plan to add additional minutes to incoming freshmen schedules at a May 23 staff meeting.
Under the plan, the majority of freshmen A-code classes will become B/C code, which will add an additional 25 minutes on alternate days. All freshmen classes will be affected except physical education and first year visual art programs, according to assistant principal Mary Streshly. The proposal was developed because the school is currently over 1,000 minutes short of the number of instructional minutes that the state requires, according to Streshly.

Remember when life was simpler, way back in the 90s? Remember when there were no college essays, Advanced Placement classes, theorems or mods to worry about and only about 151 different Pokémon to account for? Well, I do. I also remember the steady decline of the quality of what was for many, myself included, the backbone of our childhood.

Twenty-five parents and community members followed students for a day during Lowell’s annual "Student for a Day" program, hosted by the Parent Teacher Student Association on Feb. 27.

It’s like being a fly on a wall for a day,” PTSA member and "Student for a Day" coordinator Chandler Moore said.
