freshman survival guide

Dear Class of 2026,

Welcome to Mounds View High School. We know that starting this new chapter in your life is probably nerve-racking and stressful, but it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Every upperclassman, teacher, and even principal, has been in the same position you are now. The entire Mounds View staff is here to help you in a multitude of different ways. If you ever have any questions, don’t shy away from emailing your dean or asking a teacher to meet. Self-advocating is one of the most beneficial things you can do for yourself. What you learn about yourself in the following years will help direct you through the rest of your life, so it is essential you use these next four years to explore your interests. Mounds View offers many opportunities when it comes to unique classes, clubs and athletics. Never be afraid to try new things as this is the time to learn what you enjoy doing and what your skills are. As you begin to pick different classes and activities, keep in mind the importance of balance. We know you have probably heard this a lot lately, but it’s some of the most important advice you will be told. Don’t overload yourself by taking too many difficult classes or joining too many extracurriculars to a point where you’re going to be exceptionally stressed and unhappy. As important as it is to challenge yourself, don’t do it at the expense of your wellbeing. In short, your high school experience is what you make of it. These next four years will go by fast so try to enjoy them. It might not seem like it today but soon enough you’ll be graduating. We hope our advice is useful.

Best of luck, The 2022-2023 Viewer Staff
