A group of Jonathan Law students attended West Shore Middle School on November 2 and Harborside Middle School on November 14 to showcase the school and its values.
The students attended West Shore and Harborside to showcase what Jonathan Law has to offer. They showed a presentation that described the school community and answered questions that prospective students had.
“I hope that if they got anything from the visit, they got that Law is a great option for high school with lots of different opportunities,” sophomore Cameron Upchurch said.
Every year, eighth grade West Shore and Harborside students are given the opportunity to explore their options for high school. In addition to the magnet schools and private schools which appeal to some students, Jonathan Law is always invited to speak about what it is like to attend Law.
Students were given time at the end to ask questions to the panel of Jonathan Law representatives.
“Some of the questions I got asked consisted of sports, AQUA, and class scheduling,” senior Liam Fedigan said. “It was cool to be able to tell the kids about Law and what values we have.”
Students chosen to attend these visits represented all different aspects offered at Law such as academics, clubs, and sports. This allowed everyone to be able to ask specific questions and get answers directly from involved students.
“It was exciting to be chosen because I was given the opportunity to speak to incoming freshmen on things that I love about Law, and give them things to look forward to,” senior Caroline Doyle said. “They were all so enthusiastic about joining the Law community and becoming involved”
The meeting lasted a few hours and gave prospective Lawmen the opportunity to get a taste of what Jonathan Law High School is like.
The presentation additionally consisted of the administrators that are important to know as someone potentially attending the school.
