During school, many of us follow a similar schedule. First period, break, second period, lunch, last period and then we go home. However, once we all leave school, the schedules of Carlsbad High School students become unique to each individual. Some focus on their demanding homework, others attend extra educational classes and many go to their extra curricular activities.

For junior Reagan Phillips, she focuses on her several honors and AP classes that take up her school schedule. She takes hours out of her day to prepare for these courses. On top of that, she recently began attending ACT preparation classes to ensure her ACT score is up to her high standards. On top of all of this, she is also a current member of the varsity dance team that recently won a national championship title.

“I don’t have a lot of free time after school,” Phillips said. “I usually come home and do homework for a couple of hours. I also go to ACT prep classes a couple of times a week and those are for a few hours at night. Sometimes I have to push all my homework back because I will have practice for Lancer Dancers. Since nationals is over, we have been focusing on preparing for community events and our spring show.”

One of Phillips teammates on Lancer Dancers, junior Lily Dodge, also juggles a unique schedule. Dodge attends Carlsbad Dance Centre and has to go to her weekly classes most days of the week. This is on top of her dance team practices and nightly homework.
