High School Should Be Memorable

You Get Out Of It What You Put Into It

Why Waste It?

Plan to make new friends. Some of the

best friends that you will ever have will be in high

school, & some of them will be in your group of friends for the rest of your life.

Choose Freshman year to achieve a goal. It could

be a completely new goal you would like to try for the first time, or it can be one that you've been trying to do forever. It’s a brand new start!

Plan A High School Experience

– Not Just Classes

Plan to be involved and active. Attend dances,

sporting events, theatre productions, concerts, anything

your school is doing, whenever you can. Play a

sport…Travel…Join a Club…Enjoy Community

Service…You never know what will happen, and you don't

want to miss something great.

Bring a friend along or be independent.
