Welcome to the December Edition of our Community Newsletter!

The end of the semester is upon us, and December is packed with important milestones at Momentum High School. From End-of-Course (EOC) exams to final exams and semester close-out activities, we are focused on helping our students finish strong.

This month is all about reflection and celebration—acknowledging the progress made and preparing for the exciting opportunities ahead. We encourage our students to stay focused, give their best effort, and end the semester on a high note.

As we approach the winter break, let’s continue working together to support our students in reaching their goals. Thank you for being an integral part of our Momentum family.

Here's to a successful close to the fall semester!
