Learning about how credit works would help students in future jobs and help them understand credit scores. Firstly, it would help them in future jobs because employers sometimes do background checks on employees to look at things like their credit score to see how responsible they are. Learning about credit would also help students save their money better and spend less on pointless things. “Students who have completed skills-based programs are more likely to perform well in college and stick around to finish their education. Because they have already completed a certificate program and are usually holding down steady employment, they’ve already proven themselves to be motivated and disciplined workers.”

Learning about this skill set would reduce college debts and help students understand college credits while they are still in high school. Firstly, a class like this would help them borrow only what they truly need and what is necessary. The class would also help students understand how different types of loans work. It could also allow them to learn about college credits and how they work while they are still in high school. “While earning college credits while still in high school may have some costs associated with it, they are mainly incidental charges (such as a fee to take an advanced placement test) compared with the cost of paying tuition at a two- or four-year college. Simply put, college credits you earn in high school are credits you don’t have to pay for once you enroll in college. This can amount to thousands of dollars of savings and much lower after-college debt.”

Some might say that this takes time away from other classes that are more important. However, learning about credit and debt could give students many advantages in their future lives.

The setting changes throughout the musical depending on where the characters are supposed to be in America. The stage is really simple with moveable props.

The main characters are Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, Eliza Hamilton, George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Angelica Schuyler, Laurens, and Lafayette.

The acting is really good, and it is all put together so the background dancers are together. The actors with parts like King George are really good and show expression.

My favorite character is George Washington because of what he sings and how good it sounds.

The song “Hurricane” is my favorite.

Everything is really put together so it looks very good, and all of the voices are perfect for their part.

The only bad part is that there is a moment that feels rushed and like the actors are getting tired in “Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down).”

The message from Hamilton is that you can rise up no matter where you come from.

Alexander Hamilton was a real person facing real things during the American Revolution, and that is what makes the musical feel so real.

I would recommend it, and if you like musicals about real events, you would love this musical.

5 out of 5! Hamilton is so good, you need to watch it. The characters’ parts are really well done, so it feels like the actual people.

Derosia shared with us what it’s like to be a principal and everything that goes into his job. He said that he started off as a history teacher, then became a vice principal, and then a principal, taking it one step at a time.

He said one of the hardest parts of his job is figuring out what is best for kids, especially when people are going through hard times. Another difficult part of the job is the stress and loss of sleep that can come from being a principal, since there is a lot of work to do and problems to solve.

His favorite part of school is when we have Field Day and shut down the regular school day, because he likes seeing staff members bonding with students and sharing cheerful moments.

His favorite part of the day is standing outside to see how kids are feeling and what mood they are in.

Something he said as advice to students is, “The habits that you develop in middle school will carry into high school. The habits you have in high school will impact what's next in your life.”

Lastly, we asked him what his dream car would be, and he replied that his dream car is a 1968 Ford Bronco, either forest green or light blue.

This is what we learned about his job. There are many cheerful and happy moments, but there are also struggles and stress.

Derosia also said during the interview that your actions help shape your future.
