CHOOSE THE BEST
SCHOOL FOR YOU
Choosing the best school for you is really what this
guide is all about. Find the best fit for your skills,
passions, and academic strengths and weaknesses.
This is going to take a lot of research and work but it
will be worth it.
TRY NEW THINGS
High school is a new phase of your life. Make new
friends, try new activities, and get the most out of
it that you possibly can. It might be intimidating to
meet new friends and try new things, but remember
that everyone else is new too. You’re not alone. When
considering extracurricular activities remember that
your grades matter a lot, but colleges also look for well
rounded students. Get involved!
WELCOME NEW
FREEDOMS AND NEW
RESPONSIBILITIES
You will have many new freedoms in high school. You’ll have
the freedom to choose some of your classes, you might
be able to earn off campus lunches, and eventually you’ll
even be able to drive. With these freedoms come many
responsibilities as well.
Teachers are going to expect you to get things done and
stay organized. Remember to stay positive about whatever
changes you face.
We hope these tips will help you conquer your fears and
make the best of your freshman year.
Have fun and work hard!
