The members of the Class of 2023 are adjusting nicely into their new home. 

Freshman students from West Shore Middle School and Harborside Middle School are meeting new friends and adjusting to becoming lawmen. 

“My favorite thing about high school so far is the freedom,” freshman Anna Nash said. “The freedom is so much better in high school than middle school.” 

The change from middle school to high school can be challenging but the Class of 2023 seem to be doing just fine.

“I feel like I have for the most part adjusted to Law. Everyone is nice, caring, and accepting so it was a pretty smooth transition,” freshman Aislinn Burns said. “The school seems a little new, but I am already familiar with most of the community.” 

Many freshmen have joined a sport. Most have said it has helped them meet new people at Jonathan Law and also create fun memories. 

“I am looking forward to spirit rallies, sports games, and different activities we do,” Burns said. “ I’m also excited to have fun with my sports teams.” 

On September 13, Law is holding a freshman picnic and a freshman welcome day to get students comfortable within the school, and excited for the upcoming school year. This was also a chance for them to bond together. 

“My advice to freshmen is to get involved early and often,” freshman teach Mr. Young said. “Not only will they enjoy sports, clubs etc, they will also get great advice from the older Law students on their experiences. By getting involved, freshmen can begin to develop relationships that will help them succeed.”

Members of the freshman class explained how high school is a nerve-racking experience but also exciting. 

“I’m looking forward to my senior year and seeing how much I progressed,” freshman Olivia Coddington said. 

Young and other teachers have many goals for the Class of 2023. 

“By senior year, I hope all freshmen have embraced their opportunities at Law and developed into great leaders for the rest of the school,” Young said. “I hope they have benefited from their classes, experiences and relationships during their time at Law and are confident to achieve their goals after high school.”
