Now that I’m a senior and people give me advice about college and education, I think to myself, “If only I knew this as a freshman.” In my junior and senior year, I feel I have learned so much about college that I should have been taught my first year of high school. For example, learning that... Read more »

The school district has plans to rebuild Fremont’s campus, but it’s not a guarantee, Principal Daniel Hurst told the Green & Gold on Sept. 13.
