Despite thundering clouds and an overcrowded Meyer Hall, New Student Orientation on Aug. 13 carried on and aided incoming Dreyfoos students. The orientation, hosted by Dreyfoos faculty members and SGA, began at 5:30 p.m. in Meyer Hall. Seeds, the communications department, the PTA and other Dreyfoos organizations set up tables with shirts and Dreyfoos merchandise in the lobby to welcome the new students.

“The orientation had such a great turnout. Around 600 people attended, making the space very crowded,” visual junior and SGA historian Marco Estrella said. “I had to give a short speech about the information provided in Meyer Hall for a few parents that did not fit in the auditorium.”

After the presentation, Assistant Principal George Miller provided all new students with information about their first period class. All incoming students who did not attend orientation will be able to see their first period class on a board on the first day of school. Before concluding orientation, SGA and Dreyfoos faculty members gave tours of the campus.

“I’m looking forward to meeting new people [who share] my interests, and I’m also looking forward to the classes since Dreyfoos is a top ranking school,” vocal freshman Abbie Jordan said.

About the Contributor

Isaac Ochoa, Editor-in-Chief

Communications senior Isaac Ochoa is a third-year journalist on The Muse. He hails from south of the border where life is much more mellow yet dangerous. He is president of the Latin-Hispanic Heritage Club and has a passion for the environment that has led him to become a vegetarian. Now reflecting on his four years of high school, he wonders why he joined The Muse. After spending countless hours behind a desk writing, editing, designing and solving last minute setbacks, Ochoa has come to the conclusion that only masochistic students join school newspapers. Fortunately, he doesn't mind the extra work. Ochoa hopes to continue to raise the standards of The Muse through experimental work. Sometimes he fails miserably, but it's okay.
