Freshman Seminar is a program that assists freshmen with the transition from the middle school to the high school. Counselors meet with small groups of freshmen to discuss a variety of issues encountered by students in their first year at the high school. In addition, other staff members occasionally meet with freshmen on a variety of topics.
An additional component of Freshman Seminar program includes information literacy instruction with the High School Librarian. This ensures that all 9th grade students have an initial orientation to the layout, resources, services, and procedures of the library.
Successfully transitioning to the high school will further assist students in meeting commencement goals and accessing post-high school opportunities. Freshman Seminar is a required course for all first-time freshmen.
