Teachers, counselors, and administrators will be presenting and answering questions on various topics including: athletics, scheduling/graduation requirements, dual enrollment, student handbook/expectations, career exploration, student clubs, etc. The orientation will take place on Wednesday, March 13, 2024 from 6:00pm – 8:00 pm at the HS.
