As this is my first year on the newspaper staff, I thought it would be appropriate to interview those who are here for their first year of high school. From the answers I got, it seems like our introduction class of ’26 is pretty enthused about their upcoming years. I selected four freshmen and interviewed them. I asked them, “What are you looking forward to”, “What is the biggest difference between Middle School and High School?”, “Favorite class so far?”, and “Are you going to play any sports or participate in clubs.”
