\t\t\t\t\"Small<\/a>The much anticipated opening of Stapleton\u2019s High School, Northfield High, is finally here. There have been some bumps in the road, and there will continue be a learning curve, but school administrators are excited for the upcoming year. \u201cWe are extremely excited for the year,\u201d said Principal Avi Tropper<\/a>. \u201cWe have a great group of kids, and we know their first year will be the beginning of great things here at Northfield High.\u201d Tropper says that the Northfield High class of 2019 is currently at five students. \u201cIt is slightly smaller than we expected,\u201d said Tropper. \u201cBut we know a lot of people are on wait and see mode. After this year, we not only expect that class to grow, but of course, the subsequent classes as well.\u201d\n\nIn fact, Tropper says that administrators expect the 2025 class to be over 400 students. \u201cWe understand how people can be hesitant at first,\u201d said Tropper. \u201cSo, once we get things rolling and parents see how effective our plan is, and the quality of the school, we expect it to grow quickly.\u201d The class of 2019 has even adopted a slogan: Be Bold. Be Northfield. \u201cWe originally wanted to do something along the lines of, \u2018the few, the proud, etc.\u2019 but we ran into some copyright issues,\u201d said Tropper. Tropper says these first year students will get lots of one on one time from teachers. \u201cThey will definitely be in classes where they are the only student,\u201d said Tropper. \u201cSo, that will enhance their learning experience, as well as give our educators another perspective. \u201cIn fact, when they are in classes of three or four, it will seem like a huge class.\u201d\nParents of the five students are anxious for the upcoming school year. \u201cWe are not worried about the school at all,\u201d said parent Rob Lewis. \u201cIt\u2019s more about having our son start high school. The school is going to be great.\u201d Parent Julie McAllister has similar feelings. \u201cI know it will be fine,\u201d said McAllister. \u201cI\u2019m very happy that my daughter will be starting high school with manageable class sizes. It’s nice that the first class will be getting lots of one on one attention.\u201d Northfield High School begins August 24th with a small, but enthusiastic class.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
