Freshman Guide

9th Grade

Think seriously about colleges you would like to attend.  Write to them and/or visit Student Services to learn about specific academic requirements for admission. Then plan your high school coursework accordingly. It is very wise to develop a four-year course of study that shows all of the courses you plan to take during high school. A thoughtful plan ensures that you will not be “caught short” at the end of your senior year.

Your freshman year is a good time to begin to get involved in some school and club activities. Since you may not be with your very closest middle and elementary school friends, this is an excellent opportunity to meet new people and develop new interests which may last a lifetime. Choose activities you like best and work to be a good member of the team or club.  Be careful, however, not to get involved with too much too fast. You may spread yourself too thin. Next spring, select rigorous courses that meet both graduation requirements and college admission requirements.
