Mary Miyamoto, freshman, works in her structured study hall with Mr. Kimbro. A mixed structure, Miyamoto is able to use her phone after keeping up her grades for the first marking period. “[Structured study hall] is crucial for keeping [ninth graders] in school. And when I say that it means we don’t want to lose any ninth graders [before] graduation. So we need to make sure that they know how to stay organized, how to study, how to take good notes, how to be a good citizen in this place of State College Area High School,” Mrs. Tobias, Freshman Principal, said.

And we are hoping to expand that to an extent, however, we don’t want to plaster advertisements everywhere, even within those venues we don’t want to make it to obvious,” SCASD Business Administrator Randy Brown said.
