Throughout your time at Westmont High School, you represent all four classes via four different colors. Beginning with freshman year and gray, to sophomore year and red, rendezvous junior year with white, and end it off senior year with black. High School appears to be a daunting time for many; however, the true representation you lay upon high school will dictate the experience you get from it. Many freshmen may be told, “Oh, freshman year doesn’t matter” however they couldn’t be further from the truth. Although academically freshman year isn’t as rigorous, it shouldn’t be tossed to the side. Freshman year is a time you can use to try new things. To get involved and make new connections. Many of the things you’ll be putting on your resume or college applications will be things that you began freshman year. Additionally, through putting yourself under many different trials, or as I like to say, “dipping your feet”, you could find your passion. My hope for the freshman is to take their gray year and not look back. To begin high school strong, with new connections and new intentions.
