CHOOSE THE BEST<br />

SCHOOL FOR YOU<br />

Choosing the best school for you is really what this<br />

guide is all about. Find the best fit for your skills,<br />

passions, and academic strengths and weaknesses.<br />

This is going to take a lot of research and work but it<br />

will be worth it.<br />

TRY NEW THINGS<br />

High school is a new phase of your life. Make new<br />

friends, try new activities, and get the most out of<br />

it that you possibly can. It might be intimidating to<br />

meet new friends and try new things, but remember<br />

that everyone else is new too. You’re not alone. When<br />

considering extracurricular activities remember that<br />

your grades matter a lot, but colleges also look for well<br />

rounded students. Get involved!<br />

WELCOME NEW<br />

FREEDOMS AND NEW<br />

RESPONSIBILITIES<br />

You will have many new freedoms in high school. You’ll have<br />

the freedom to choose some of your classes, you might<br />

be able to earn off campus lunches, and eventually you’ll<br />

even be able to drive. With these freedoms come many<br />

responsibilities as well.<br />

Teachers are going to expect you to get things done and<br />

stay organized. Remember to stay positive about whatever<br />

changes you face.<br />

We hope these tips will help you conquer your fears and<br />

make the best of your freshman year.<br />

Have fun and work hard!<br />
