8th Grade Promotion Updates

8th Grade Students and Families, 

Promotion is right around the corner and we can’t wait to celebrate your student’s accomplishments! This class is truly special to the teachers and staff at Deal. Despite all the upheaval and change they experienced during their middle school years, our 8th graders persevered and showed themselves to be outstanding students and humans. We are so proud of the young leaders they have become and know they will do amazing things in high school and beyond.
