MHS hosting Freshman First Day on Wednesday

The move from middle school to high school is a time of excitement and, perhaps, some anxiety.

What classes should I take?  Will I make new friends?  Are there sports or activities I would enjoy?  Those types of questions are being asked by Maricopa teens who are about to enter ninth grade.

Maricopa High School students and staff are holding Freshman First Day on Wednesday, July 28, to answer some of those questions, as well as to provide a smooth introduction to the school for incoming freshmen.

Freshman First Day provides an opportunity for incoming students to familiarize themselves with the high school campus, to experience some activities planned especially for them and to meet upperclassmen who will provide a support system for the freshmen during the coming school year.

All incoming freshmen are encouraged to attend. The orientation will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m. in the new gym at Maricopa High School. Bus transportation will be provided for incoming ninth graders.
