South East has had a busy start. We welcome our 420 new 7th graders who join our 405 8th graders. We began the Year by registering 42 new students to SE-and dropping 40 others who didn't join us once the year began. Interestingly, ther are 81 more boys than girls in the student body, a trend that continues from last year.
