Freshman enrollment increases

The school will continue growing next year as the 2012-2013 freshman class will consist of an estimated 354 students, not taking into account any new enrollment. This will be the largest freshman population in school history.

Next year’s numbers are greater than this year’s 319 new freshmen, and the numbers are expected to continue growing in future years. With this year’s graduating class of 219, the school will have a total of 135 more students next year.

“I think it’ll be interesting having so many more kids here, but probably hard to really notice that they have more than we do,” freshman Whitney Hazlett said.

“I don’t think it’s going to change things very much,” freshman English teacher Eric Ammerman said. “There’s been a steady increase the last couple of years, and the district has seen it coming, that’s why they added on so much. My freshman class in high school was 500, so it’s manageable.”

Several changes will affect the freshman next year, according to registrar Deana Thom. Freshman Academy will be split into three halls as opposed to the two separate ones this year, and many freshmen may have lockers outside of the designated freshman locker bank.
