Jonathan Law held its annual Open House on October 11. Middle School students and their families gathered at Law and were thrilled to see what the school had to offer. Over 250 people attended the event. Principal Mr. Thompson received nothing but positive feedback about the night. Throughout the night, the students received a “SWAG BAG” containing Lawmazing sunglasses, a Jonathan Law Pop Socket, two tickets to a Jonathan Law football game, and some literature about the school. At the end of the night, the incoming Lawmazing students had a passport which they had to get stamped during the tour of the school. When the students received all five  of their stamps they received a “Class of 2023” T-shirt. Staff Reporter Alexis Broderick interviewed Mr. Thompson about the successful Open House Night.

Alexis Broderick: What is the goal of Open House?

Mr. Thompson: The overall goal of the Open House is to let middle school families know what a great place Jonathan Law is, so all of the offerings it had and why we are the best choice for high school.

AB: How do you think Open House was received by the parents and students?

MT: Based on the feedback I have received  both at the Open House and today the night was very well received.

AB: What do you think the highlight of the night was?

MT:  I think the highlight of the night was the current Jonathan Law High School students. All of the different roles they served whether it was Nick Hanna and Morgan Taylor giving the presentation to the whole parent group in the beginning. Whether it was all of our tour guides, the student leaders that were doing the passport stamps, or the students engaged in the club and activity fair, the overall  highlight was students.

AB: What is your advice for incoming  freshman?

MT: My advice for incoming freshman is come here first. When you’re here just be you and get to know everybody that’s what makes Jonathan Law so special.

AB: What does it take to be a successful Lawman?

MT: What it takes to be a successful Lawmen is the commitment you have to your studies, pursuing your passions and interests, making friendships and connections with teachers, and giving back to the community.
