| FUTURE FRESHMEN: Eighth graders enjoy snacks and hot chocolate in the cafeteria before the start of Thursday evening's Grand Opening Celebration for the Class of 2023. |
Nearly 180 eighth graders from 27 different elementary and middle schools enjoyed a sneak peak on Thursday of the excitement that lies ahead for them as NDCL students for the next four years.
Dubbed the Grand Opening for the Class of 2023, the program began with students finding and opening their lockers, which contained their schedules for the evening as well as souvenir t-shirts and drawstring backpacks. Our current freshmen generously volunteered to vacate their lockers so the eighth graders could borrow them for the night.
Students then created draft course schedules from NDCL's list of 115 courses and played charades with student ambassadors to explore activities available during our daily Lion Time. They also worked in teams to unlock mystery boxes—and win Chipotle gift cards—using clues found in NDCL publications.
The Grand Opening concluded with participants receiving personalized replicas of the high school diplomas that NDCL looks forward to awarding them in May 2023.
Director of Admissions Mr. Michael Suso `03 and Assistant Director of Admissions Mr. Quinn Malone planned and directed the popular event.
