This is an exciting day for our freshmen as they begin to explore how their interests and passions may translate into career opportunities. In addition, through the lens of serving others, freshmen will have time to reflect on how their interests may help make our community and world a better place. Students identified preferred specific activities during the first two weeks of school. Families and students will be sent specific and personalized agendas and details about their day next week.
Freshmen will report to campus as normal at 7:20am and will be dismissed at 2:40pm.
