Amarillo students will be back to class this week when the upcoming school year begins.
On Wednesday, August 15th, students from the Amarillo area will head back to class. The return to school began this week for teachers at certain schools and students will also soon make the trip to class.
While the return is dreadful for others, some students in the area are looking forward to the chance to start the next chapter of their education career or to close the book on their high school years.
Josh Stephenson, an Amarillo student who will be a junior this year, is one of those students who is excited about the opportunity to return to school.
"I’m ready to get senior year over with and start the next chapter of my life," Stephenson said.
