Preparing for the Future

 

Fall Semester

  • Attend Freshman Orientation (usually held the week before school starts).
  • Find out where your classes and campus resources are (student store, library, health office, counselor office, etc.).
  • Review your class schedule to ensure there are no mistakes.
  • Meet new friends and surround yourself with positive people.
  • Get involved! Attend Club Rush in September and join a club.
  • Find out when various sports seasons are offered.
  • Get ready for final exams in December.

Spring Semester

  • Keep your grades up! Freshman grades count and set the tone for your high school career.
  • Prepare to pick your classes for next year after winter break in January.
  • Research classes: Talk to friends, sophomores, teachers, and counselors about future courses.
  • Spring finals are in June—make sure to study, study, study!
  • Plan for your summer: Consider working, volunteering, or reading at least two books.
