The Jonathan Law Class of 2025 is adjusting to high school life.

Students are still wearing masks and are three feet apart while in the school building. Yet freshmen students are still able to meet new people and enjoy the high school life. 

“This year I am looking forward to soccer and meeting new people,” freshman Madelyn Baranowsky said. 

This year many clubs are back up and running. Many freshmen join sports which helps them make new friends.

“My favorite part about high school so far is all the ways you could get involved like clubs and sports,”  freshman Hailey Garcia said. 

Many freshmen join sports in high school, and this year, there are fewer COVID regulations for many of the fall sports. 

“I am looking forward to playing sports,” freshman Taylor Coretti said. “I am also looking forward to meeting new people.”

If freshmen students are struggling academically, they are able to go to a teacher or to the Support Center in the Teaching and Learning Commons for help.

“We have a variety of resources in this building, including the Dean of Students, an Athletic Director, school counselors, social workers, school psychologists, security guards, a resource office and many others,”  Jonathan Law’s interim principal Mr. Marko said. “You should always start with your teacher, but we also have a Support Center and a school tutor available every period in the Teaching and Learning Commons.”

Getting involved in extracurricular activities at school makes the high school experience fun and memorable for all students.

“The advice I have for the freshmen is to get involved with as many sports, clubs and other extracurriculars as they can,” Freshmen Academy science teacher Ms. Mercaldi said. “They should also take advantage of the resources we have like the Support Center and TLC to help with navigating the new expectations that high school presents.”
