Students at South Windsor High School were all asked the same question, “What is one word to describe this school year?” The selected word for the 2024-2025 school year: boring. 

Many possessed similar responses while others thought more outside of the box. However, the most common answers were boring, long, chaotic, busy, interesting, and eventful.

A variety of students were asked, who were all in different grade levels. Even with these divisions, many students have still experienced similar school years.

Surprisingly, some students’ answers did contradict others, such as two words being chosen: unique and dull as well as many other combinations.

With this year’s word being boring, we’ve asked some more South Windsor High School members why they think this word has been selected.

“No one was involved in the year,” sophomore, Adam Gadit stated. “Nothing really was happening in the school community.”

“This school year went by fast,” freshman Grace Migneault commented. “Not much was able to take place.”

“When choosing to connect with people, it’s not as boring,” Mr. Webb, an English teacher at South Windsor High School stated.

The Prowl looks forward to seeing what next year’s word will be!
