“Writing is like driving at night; you can only see as far as the headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” - E.L Doctorow While E.L Doctorow was talking here about the writing process, I use this passage often when I talk to students about post-high school planning. Rock Point students are bright, capable, creative, independent thinkers, who have needed some extra support and guidance to unlock their potential in the classroom and beyond.

When I tell people that we have a Post-Grad option at Rock Point School, they sometimes ask me what that means. Some people may have heard of post-grad years for athletes looking for an extra year of high school to earn a college scholarship and that can definitely be the case for some students, but there are many other reasons why a student may be interested in a fifth year of high school.
