Ukiah High School News is entering 2021, and many high schoolers have goals for the new year. We asked some Wildcats what their goals are for 2021. These are the responses we got:

We all started 2020 very different. Distance learning has become our new normal and freshman have had to adapt to a difficult circumstance. We have all had a hard time with COVID-19 because we cannot see friends or family. But these high schoolers still have goals to reach for the new year and with their spirit we will all try our best to make this year better than the last.
