2017 was a big year for all 7th graders enrolled in The Joe Barnhart Academy (TJBA). This was the year that the academy opened their doors to a selected number of 7th and 8th graders. In the spring of 2019 TJBA Assistant Principal and Coordinator, Mrs. Kroen had each of the 7th graders write a letter to their future selves, only to be opened and read during their senior year. They were instructed to write what their future goals were. The time has come for the students to look back and see if their goals have changed and or been achieved.
