Ferndale High School's freshmen class gathered this month for an inspiring meeting focused on the power of perseverance. With the semester nearing its end, students were encouraged to reflect on their achievements so far and set their sights on finishing strong.

The theme of perseverance was chosen to motivate students to push through challenges, stay committed to their goals, and remain focused as they approach the final stretch of the semester. As part of the meeting, school counselors and senior students shared personal stories about overcoming obstacles, highlighting the importance of resilience in both academic and personal growth.

"Perseverance is the ability to work through situations even when there are obstacles or challenges in the way."
