Hello Fellow Spartans!
Well, we have had 2 great weeks of school already. Thanks to all of you who have done an outstanding job of arriving to school on time, getting to your classes on time and listening to your teachers about rules and procedures. We are SO proud of each one of you! In the next couple of weeks, we are going to focus on our WONDERFUL Freshman Academy teachers by featuring each one of them. Stay tuned and continue to be a Spectacular Spartan!!

Hey Spartan Freshman! I found this great article by Money Mitch with with Associated Content that I think will help you on your first day of school here at White Station High School. Just remember, we are all here to help you, so don’t hesitate to ask a teacher for help. See you soon!

Freshman year is a very rewarding, but also a nerve wrecking experience. The leap from middle school to high school is a very scary thing, but you have to remember that you were nervous on the first day of every other grade as well. However, high school is a completely different system than middle school because it is much more complex. For all you freshman out there that are reading this and can’t keep your mind from racing, you guys need to relax. It’s really not as bad as it seems, and you already have a jump start on all of your freshman class because you have chosen your classes. If you use the information in this article I promise you that after the first week of high school you’ll be laughing at how nervous you were.
Your first day of high school is going to be one giant rush. In the morning you will get dropped off most likely by one of your parents. No matter how embarrasing this seems, just remember that the other 90% of your freshman class is getting to school in the same way. Next you will probably gather in the gym or in an area where the Freshman class will gather. Don’t forget to be in your school uniform and arrive to school on time. You will then go to your homeroom. Your homeroom location should be listed on a wall to show you where to go. During homeroom, you will be given your schedule. If you have trouble finding your first class building, DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK . If your going to a new school, or just do not have many friends, don’t sweat it.
