SAVE THE DATE! Class of 2027 - Warrior High School Orientation!
You are Invited!!! Warrior Freshman Orientation is held as a part of our Warrior Day experience on Thursday, August 10. There are many positive reasons for incoming 9th graders to attend the Freshman Orientation portion of the day. The entire Class of 2027 will participate in fun and engaging activities to begin their high school experience laughing and smiling. Freshmen will interact with their classmates, as well as meet multiple staff members and upperclassmen. The upperclassmen will lead them through activities that will provide lessons and advice for high school success.
Students will get a tour of the building to ease the jitters of the first day of school. Students in the Class of 2027 will participate in the Warrior Day components (school pictures, parking passes, etc.) at the times listed in the preview below either before or after Orientation. More information on the entire day will be coming out in the back to school mailer at the end of July. We are so excited to welcome the Class of 2027 to Warrior Nation!
