- i have been going to curtiss for two years now, and i am now entering 8th grade. i am excited and nervous at the same time, only because 8th grade like many other grades is very important. i would like to thank the following: Ms.Hunter,Ms.Bryant, Mr.Mejia, Ms.Cooper, Ms.Miles, Ms.Robinson, Ms.Lemons, Mr.Bigham, and Ms.Lucas. all of the teachers above are good teachers and helped me in their own unique way.
