I am a journalist and I thought it would be interesting to interview the graduating class of 2011. The 8th grade is a heavy influence on the kindergarten to 7th grades of Catalyst Howland. Interviewing the 8th grade class was important to me because, I wanted to get a sneak peak at the role models of Catalyst Howland.
