Getting Ready For Class
In the morning Breakfast is served from 8:00 to 8:22, 8:22 being when school starts. From 8:22 you have until 8:30 to get your stuff from your locker, yes you read that correctly, a locker. Now you're probably thinking "I have no idea how to open a locker, how am I supposed to get my stuff?" and you might be crying too, but maybe not... Anyway to open your locker you need to reset the lock by spinning it clockwise (Right) until you reach '0'. Then you look at your locker combination which is in the top left corner of your schedule and if you don't have a schedule go to the office and ask for one. The office is located at the front of the school. But if you have your schedule and you see your locker combination, turn the knob clockwise, or right until you reach the first number. Then turn the knob left to the second number. And lastly to the right for the third, and final number.
Class
It's 8:30 and you still have no idea where your first class is. Look at your schedule and then find what day it is and then first hour. And since it's the first day it's an 'A' day so go to the top left box. At the bottom of that box it should say "Rm: ___" that tells you what room the class is in. So now all you need to do is find that room in the house and get to class.

Electives and Clubs
There are also a lot of clubs here, such as Quiz Bowl, Art Club, BUM Crew, and Guitar Club.
But if you want to start a club you can pitch your idea to one of the two principals - Mr. Sexton and Mr. Weaver. And if a teacher likes your idea they can support your club.
