Freshmen orientation is the essential first step in a student’s high school career, designed to bridge the gap between middle school and the unique demands of the high school environment. It serves as an introduction to campus culture, academic expectations, and the vast network of extracurricular opportunities available to new students. At Hendrickson, we call this program Take Flight, representing the moment our newest Hawks begin their journey, find their wings, and prepare to soar throughout their next four years on campus.
