What we are using for 12th grade 2025-2026
My oldest graduated high school in May. My next oldest, "K", is a senior this year. Do I feel older and wiser and ready for this time around?

For one, I am depending on a dual credit biology class through Austin Community College for her science credit instead of teaching it myself.
