meet lots of new people and learn a lot more,” said Bryce Rudiger, ‘23.
What are you most excited for in high school?

What are you scared of and what are you looking forward to when going into high

Nora King, ‘23.
What do you plan to participate in throughout high school?
“I am excited for more extracurricular activities and being more a part of the school. I plan to do
cheer, show choir, tennis, cross country, and hopefully student government,” said Lydia Foy,

Is there anything that you are not looking forward to in high school?
“My sister told me that seniors hate freshmen, so I’m not looking forward to being the new
people in the school,” said Tatum Manternach, ‘23.
