On behalf of the faculty, staff, and administration, welcome to the Civic Memorial family! We are excited to invite you to our Freshman/New Student Orientation, an event designed by our student leaders, the FreshMentors, to help both students and parents navigate the transition to high school.
We recognize that moving from middle school to high school is both exciting and challenging. Our goal is to ensure every student starts strong by learning the ins and outs of CMHS, including our culture, expectations, and the many resources available. This orientation is a crucial first step in establishing a solid foundation for success over the next four years.
Students will have the opportunity to walk through their class schedules, explore the building, and connect with upperclassmen who are here to support them. This helps reduce first-day jitters and builds confidence.
