Our incoming 9th graders met with student leaders from our wide variety of clubs and sports. They participated in a question and answer panel led by our current 9th graders who gave good advice. Out of the mouths of our current 9th graders came the following words of wisdom:
1) Join something. It is a good way to make friends and it keeps you focused on school work.
2) I have had to learn not to procrastinate. I can't really do my homework in school anymore, so make sure you do it at home.
3) If you get lost, ask a teacher where to go.
4) As soon as you realize you aren't getting it, ask the teacher for help. They'll stay after and help you.
