Freshmen Academy
New London High School
|
|
The Freshmen Academy encourages all ninth graders to do their best academically and to join a club, activity, or sport during their first year of high school. During the first semester, fifty-nine New London freshmen earned a Freshmen Academy Award by earning a 3.33 GPA or higher and being an active participant in at least one school-sponsored club, activity, or sport.
Freshman Academy co-coordinator Brian Mathu reminded all students -- those earning certificates and those who did not -- that while Olympians have to wait four years until the next Winter Games, high school students do not. "All of us can decide to change and aim for improvement today and every day. There is no need to wait four years. We can get it done
now
