With the Mid-term exams in North Kingstown High School coming up soon, students have been studying hard to get the best grades they can.  The midterms will take place from Wednesday, January 25 to Monday, January 30, which means there is not much time to study and get make-up work done.  After the midterms are completed, students will be less stressed out and the second semester classes will be in effect.
