Seniors Secrets: Advice from Seniors to Freshmen
By: Sophia Hayes
Freshmen year often evokes mixed emotions as students transition into a school full of new teachers, new friends, and new standards. To help ease this transition, some successful recently graduated Nease Seniors from our school are offering their insight into how to manage the academic, athletic, and social pressures you may feel as an incoming freshman.
Academic Advice:
One of the most important aspects of high school is your academic success. As a freshman, you are laying the foundation for your future options. Considering that freshmen year is much different than middle school, students may have a difficult time adjusting to the rigor of their new classes. To help you achieve academic success, Senior Sofia Durante says, “Try to find the right balance for yourself. Don’t overload too much on just school or you’ll get burnt out.’’ This is important to remember because freshman year is a drastic shift in amount of homework given and increase in difficulty of content learned. Remembering that the new pressures and intensity you will encounter your freshmen year are normal and necessary for growth. Pushing yourself to take challenging courses but also maintaining a strong state of mind will lead to immense benefits throughout the rest of your high school years.
Extracurricular Advice:

offers a diverse group of sports to join, which means there is a place for everyone! Playing sports at the high school level is a big jump from middle school sports considering the increased amounts of pressure and time required. On top of that, you will likely have larger amounts of homework than before, yet this has not stopped students from achieving both athletic and academic success as a panther. Senior football player, Devn Fugiel says, “To avoid athletic or academic burnout, it is important that incoming freshmen allot themselves the necessary time to succeed academically first and then focus on your athletics.” This is an important piece of advice to keep with you throughout high school, because balancing various tasks at once is common. A typical day for an athlete at Nease High school starts with morning practice, seven hours of school, two hours of practice, and then hours of homework. Developing a routine that allows you to manage your time devoted to your athletics and academics may take time to get used to, but it is key to achieving success.
A great way to adjust to your new environment is to branch out and meet new people and find new interests. A simple, yet effective way of doing this is by joining clubs at our school. Extracurriculars are very beneficial as an incoming
to ease into your new school. Class of 2025 graduate Addison Shockey says, “Freshmen should pick one club that could look good on a resume with leadership opportunities and a club that interests them or where they can try something new.’’ To incoming freshmen taking Addison’s advice, it is important to remember that Nease has so many unique clubs and opportunities, so
more year. Having a leadership role has many positive results, such as developing leadership skills, meeting new people, and boosting your resume.
Athletic Advice:
A great way to get involved at school and meet more people is to try out for a sports team. Nease
It is important to remember that your freshmen year should be fun, challenging, and full of new adventures. You will develop as a person, meet new people, and make lifelong memories. Nease has many resources available to help you in your first year of high school, for instance Nease has a great link crew program, guidance counselors and teachers always willing to give you advice.

Most Valuable Freshmen Teachers
By: Bella Hayes
At Nease High School we have so many amazing teachers that allow our students to learn and grow. Your freshmen year can determine the rest of your high school career. It’s important to have a strong foundation and we are here to highlight some of those teachers who have helped so many students start off high school on the right foot.
Starting off with Mr. Harris who teaches freshmen history. Mr. Harris began teaching here in September of 2022 as his first teaching job. Mr. Harris in an interview reveals, “I am still a bit of a freshmen myself when it comes to teaching.” Mr. Harris likes teaching freshmen because he says, “the entire experience is new to them and I am hoping with my style of teaching, I can get them comfortably accustomed to the ‘real world’ that is high school. And I would like to think they can still be molded at 14 or 15 but I am not sure how well I do that.” Many students like Grayson Taylor believe Mr. Harris is a very engaging teacher. Grayson Taylor explains, “Mr. Harris understands the kids and is nice. He helps if you have questions, and he posts TikTok’s”. Mr. Harris puts students in groups to make them work together, sometimes using a mini-white eraser board to make them come up with answers for group discussions. He does very engaging activities to help his students learn the material. He also does very fun activities to keep the learning environment fun too. Mr. Harris says, “Meanwhile, people have come to know that I have my famous stuffed “Buc-ee” that I toss around the room to let students speak, one person at a time. Sometimes it is to answer a question about what we are learning but many times it is just to share with the class how their weekend was and what they plan to do for an upcoming break. Students take turns and wait for the stuffed little guy to get tossed to them.” He also reveals, “I am also the teacher that breaks out the Jolly Ranchers when it is time for a Kahoot! The students are very competitive when it comes time to review”.
Mrs. Chambers is a freshman honors Biology teacher. She
has been a teacher here at Nease for two years. She enjoys teaching honors biology because “most of them enjoy being engaged in class discussions”. She says, “We do engaging labs, games, projects and in occasion we do skits to help understand the content better”. Some fun activities students do in her class according to Jude Gerosa are making cookies with candy to represent a cell.
Mr. Binns is a freshman English teacher here at Nease. He has taught here for 30 years including teaching Pre IB-English 1, English 2 Honors, English 3 Honors, and AP Lang. Mr. Binns enjoys teaching freshmen because they have good, positive energy and are enthusiastic. He says, “They typically want to be successful and they’re willing to try hard and improve. They’re not over school yet and are willing to explore and try.” Mr. Binns keeps his students involved by acting out Romeo and Juliet, having art conversations, doing creative writing sonnets, having debates, and doing Socratic seminars. Tessa Harry really enjoyed Mr. Binns class, and her favorite memory was “reading Romeo and Juliet with him because he was funny, and he could explain the language well”.
Mrs. Gebauer is a freshman math teacher who has been a teacher here at Nease for 12 years. She says what she likes about teaching freshman is that “they still want to make the teacher happy by doing well in class.” She also reveals, “I treat all kids like they are my own so that they know I respect them, and they want to work for me!”
These are just some of the many outstanding teachers’ here at Nease. When transitioning from middle to high school, one key to success is getting to know each of your teachers and making sure you understand what they expect from you.

Athletic Advice for Freshmen
By Harper Gardner
Starting high school as a student athlete can be very exciting, but it can be overwhelming and stressful to manage. Balancing academics and sports requires dedication, commitment, and the right mindset. Here are some essential tips to help guide your freshman year to success.
Time Management is a crucial skill for student-athletes who must learn to balance practices, games, homework, social obligations, and more all at once. Staying organized and keeping track of upcoming assignments, tests, and other commitments can be extremely beneficial. To stay organized, a planner, scheduling app, or calendar can be an effective way to keep track of your schedule.
Getting 9 to 10 hours of sleep is another key factor for student-athletes for physical and mental recovery. More sleep will not only improve your academic performance but will enhance your energy levels and attentiveness during practices.
Balancing Academics and Sports
When it comes to being a student-athlete, education should always be a priority. Many student-athletes get into the habit of prioritizing sports and neglecting their education. Professional goals or the pressure to excel and get scholarships can sometimes overshadow the importance of education. By keeping a balance between academics and sports, student-athletes create a solid foundation for long-term success in both athletics and professional futures.
Injury Prevention and Recovery
Injuries can sideline even the most committed athletes. One way to prevent injuries is to remain hydrated. Student-athletes should preferably have 3 liters of water per day. Proper hydration supports muscle function, reduces the risk of cramps, and prevents fatigue. Stretching is also essential for student-athletes. Regular stretching reduces the risk of injury, improves athletic performance, reduces soreness, and helps with blood flow, which supports muscle recovery. Another factor to remember is warming up before practices, games, or regular exercise. Warming up increases your blood flow, flexibility, and muscle temperature, decreasing the sense of soreness and reducing the risk of injury or muscle strains. Knowing your limits and listening to your body is important to prevent injury and ensure long-term success.
Staying Motivated and Handling Pressure
High school sports can be extremely competitive and demanding. Bad practices or games can take a mental toll. Setting short term goals for yourself and celebrating small victories within them can keep you motivated. A positive mindset, positive self-talk, and visualizing success can help keep you motivated during the season. Pressure is a natural part of sports. Ultimately, developing resilience through experience, staying organized, and knowing when to take breaks are also key to effectively managing pressure.
Building Relationships with Teammates and Coaches
Trusting relationships with your teammates and coaches will help create a positive environment. Good relationships are not only good for yourself, but for the whole team, which enhances team morale. Relationship building involves active listening, keeping open communication, showing respect, providing support, and making the effort to get to know others. Collaboration will be more
efficient, and your freshman year season will improve. If there is conflict between one another, be open and willing to understand to not make the situation bigger. It is also important to understand that you will not get along with everyone, but staying mindful and respectful will be helpful for the team.
Pack it up!
By: Mia Couturier
Stocking your backpack with the right supplies is an easy way to start your year strong. From essential items to personal items, these are some backpack essentials to have you prepared for the school year.
Essentials
For the most part, it’s a good idea to wait until you get your class syllabi to get your essentials, but here are items you should always have on hand.
-Folders are important to stay organized and neat. You can get one for each class or one for each day (green/gold).
-Notebooks are helpful for note-taking, ringed notebooks are preferred by most students to make it easier to note take, on the other hand having loose leaf lined paper is also a good idea for note taking.
-Pens and pencils are a basic, with most students favoring mechanical pencils.
Personal items
-It is smart to keep personal and hygiene items on you to keep you prepared for your school day.
-Phone chargers can be handy, especially for those who participate in after school activities.
-Airpods to listen to music when allowed is a helpful thing to have with you.
-Snacks throughout the day is smart to help you focus.
-Water to stay hydrated throughout the day.
-Mints in your bag is a smart idea for keeping your breath fresh, especially after lunch.
-Deodorant on hot days is a good thing to have with you to keep you smelling fresh.

FRESHMAN YEAR SURVIVIAL GUIDE
By Keeley Rissman
High school stress is unavoidable. It’s basically a fulltime job that you face blindly with no idea what to expect. And I certainly didn’t have a clue. Middle school me would’ve lost her mind knowing I’d have failed three tests by my second week! My to-do list seemed to grow and grow, and the longer I stared, the longer it became; Test after quiz, assignment after essay oh, and practice is at 6 Surely it wouldn’t be like this forever, it would get easier, right? Maybe eventually. But here’s the part no one talks about how do we deal with it? Out of a pool of surveyed Nease students, 69% reported they were overwhelmed with stress in their freshman year. Here’s some of my personal advice to combat the most common challenges of freshmen
Academics
High school is an entirely new world when it comes to workload, grades, and teaching styles. The most important thing is to not become overwhelmed As a pre-IB student, I struggled to manage my workload in freshman year. Oftentimes, you’ll be so swamped with work that just the idea of starting the assignment stresses you more than the assignments do themselves In this case, you need to prioritize what’s most important and time-consuming. Although you’ll dread it at first, erasing the biggest stressors from your mind will make it easier to finish everything else. I also found it was best to prepare little-by-little for major projects and tests.
If it’s the content difficulty that’s most worrying, don’t fret If you don’t understand something right away, focus on things you do. However, If you need extra help, don’t be afraid to ask a friend or teacher. I have even found it beneficial to study with a classmate before a test, especially when we find study games online or prepare by quizzing each other on the content But if you need specific help, talk with your teacher during Excel or check out the
National Honor Society’s free tutoring on Wednesdays after school. Trust me, don’t hesitate to use these resources when you need them!
Health
It’s easy to become overwhelmed with life stressors Every aspect of life plays into your overall health, and vice versa. As assignments pile up, once-rare all-nighters become your daily routine for the next four years. This is something I know well, and I'll admit that although the occasional late night might be necessary, it will always be best to sleep. If you rely on energy drinks and headache medicine like I did, you will struggle in class and dread school even more. Taking care of your body is necessary to perform an feel your best
It’s inevitable that highschool students will struggle with mental and physical health. With so much on our minds at once, it’s easy to forget what’s most important Setting realistic goals will help, as no amount of studying is worth complete exhaustion. Sometimes it might seem like no one else is struggling. It’s so easy to compare yourself to other students and wonder, “What are they doing differently?”
Really, it’s all about finding a balance that works for you, and you don’t have to find it alone. Don’t hesitate to reach out to a friend, parent, or guidance counselor for support when you need it.
Social Life
It won’t be as nerve-racking as you think when finding friends in High school, as there are so many ways to meet new people. When I got to freshman year, I had 0 classes with my friends from middle school, none at all I was terrified of what my classes would be like, especially having gone to a K-8 with the same kids forever. I suggest simply talking to people you want to get to know better, because many are just as nervous at a brand-new school Clubs and sports are also amazing ways to meet new people. Join things you are interested in, not only ones that look good on college applications. It’s your freshman year, enjoy trying things you’ll love and may continue for the rest of your time at Nease.
Don’t stress, freshman. This year is going to be full of challenges, sure. But it will also be an exciting one full of new people and opportunities.
