What to Expect On Campus
To prepare you for the high school campus environment, please note that:

• Students are often very loud, making breaks and lunch quite noisy
• You may hear language that makes you feel uncomfortable
• You may see clothing that offends you or of which you do not approve
• Students may litter frequently
• Pushing, shoving, and play-acting may occur. This does not mean that violence is imminent
• You may see what you consider to be flagrant sexuality
• Students you know may act much differently at school than in other settings
