Whittier Union High School District’s incoming freshmen will get a glimpse into high school life during the District’s Freshmen First Day (FFD) on Tuesday, Aug. 13. This annual tradition seeks to build camaraderie between incoming freshmen and their new school community.
FFD also helps students familiarize themselves with their new campus, and teachers and administrators, while also learning more about the District’s best programs, activities, clubs, sports, and more.
Freshmen First Day takes place one day before the first day of school at Whittier Union (Wednesday, Aug. 14). Led by the Associated Student Body, administrators, and teachers and staff, the day includes a variety of engaging activities such as team-building exercises, campus tours, and interactive games. Highlights of the day include orientations, student performances, ice breakers, and a prize giveaway.
Additionally, several schools will host their annual Club Rush, offering new students the opportunity to explore and enroll in various clubs ahead of the new academic year.
