Eighth Grade Students Learn about Life as High School Freshmen

On May 20 High School seniors in Mrs. Abitabile’s Sociology class held a discussion with eighth grade students to help the incoming freshmen prepare for their first year as high school students this fall.

Seniors shared personal experiences, strategies for being successful and what they wish they had known when they entered high school. Seniors stressed how important it is to be on time to school and class, to complete all homework assignments so you don’t fall behind and to get to know your teachers. Seniors also talked about the importance of challenging yourself in all 4 years of high school explaining that all of them count as you prepare for college.
