"What Every Freshman should Know":  Advice from your 20/21 Titan Ambassadors!

The purpose of Freshmen and New Student Orientation is to both help our incoming Freshman class acclimate to their new school culture and have positive effects on change in existing culture relating to stress and academic achievement.  Gunn High School hopes to continue positive growth in their students and help students develop positive images in how they see themselves at Gunn High School.

To meet this mission, Freshman and New Student Orientation for 2019 will include the following goals:
  • Learning Gunn traditions
  • Becoming Familiar with the campus
  • Getting to know each other and developing a “voice” as a class.
  • Introduction/Overview of how student activities work (Homecoming, Events, Clubs, etc.)
  • School Culture 
Once a Freshman/ New Student has attended Orientation, we hope they will continue their growth in being Gunn students who value honesty, integrity, efficacy, have a love of learning, become real thinkers and be ready to make their mark as Freshmen or a new student at Gunn!

*Note - Everyone will also get some very cool swag to start out their year, during book pick up day.  This event is not to be missed!

Freshman and New Student Orientation is a very important part of every student's transition into the High School environment and we hope every new student will attend!
