Welcome Week One

The kickoff to the Freshmen Experience was held Wednesday night at Edgewood High School. Hundreds of parents and incoming freshmen turned out for the first annual event, offering an opportunity for the new ninth graders to get acquainted with the high school. Students had a chance to look over their schedule, find their classrooms and lockers, and meet their new teachers, counselors and principals.
The beginning of the year has proved to be successful for the Edgewood Freshmen Experience. The staff has been treated to an amazing group of students who are ready to learn. We are all positive this is going to be an exciting year.
Our Freshmen class is filled with some fascinating students. Today I had a chance to chat with Tyler T. Tyler has a fascination with Civil War history and on his own he used the Internet to locate a reenactment unit. He has joined the unit as a confederate Marine. Tyler tells me that he has been in more then 20 reenactments and has no plans to stop this "rather expensive hobby." We are proud to have Tyler as part of our 2011-2012 Freshmen Academy.
