Proud of my son!

My 13-year-old got accepted into the local magnet program for public high school! I am so proud of him! He had to write multiple essays and get teacher recommendations and take a test. This is a big deal for us because our local high school does not have a good reputation and we weren't sure if we could afford Catholic high school. We were contemplating moving - which I really didn't want to do right now - and now we don't have to! The magnet school has three tracks, and he was accepted into two of the three. Smile

Congrats and best wishes to your son as he heads to high school!

Thanks, Chris, EW & DT! I figured if I was going to vent on the Rant board I should even the score over here. Smile
