With high schools opening across the country, thousands of new students are crowding the hallways of the nation’s educational system. Many of these students are incoming freshman, unsure of what to expect with the unfamiliar territory and people.

New students will figure out where they fit in and, possibly, learn the hard way where they don’t. These new students are adapting to the high school life and may be unsure how to make the transition.
