At the beginning of the new semester juniors, and seniors fill out the proper paperwork for them to get early release and late arrival. These privileges allow students to take two or three classes so they are able to work part time, take classes online or Wake Tech. Many students take advantage of these opportunities. Katya Triana, a senior with early released, said “I actually had better grades because of it.” Junior Brooke Lambert said that early release is more beneficial for the students and when asked why Brooke commented “because you can get out of school earlier to do the rest of your work.” However Max James, senior, said that late arrival is more beneficial for himself, “…because you get more sleep, and you get to study for your classes more.”
