PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles High School will welcome the Class of 2016, and their parents or guardians at 7 p.m. today at Freshman Welcome Night in the school’s auditorium, 304 E. Park Ave.
New-student and preregistration information will be distributed to give freshmen a head-start on registration, and planners will be distributed to students in attendance.
“We are very excited,” Principal Garry Cameron said Monday.
Students will meet their student government leadership team and be given an understanding of the goals that will be expected of them as high school students, Cameron said.
Freshmen registration, for both new and returning students, will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday at the PAHS student center.
Rider Day, the school’s annual freshmen welcome event, will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31, at the PAHS gymnasium.
The event includes games and team-building events, a barbecue and introductions to the school’s administrators, advisers and counselors, all led by upperclassmen who have volunteered to advise the incoming freshmen for the year.
Interested students are invited to join in a students vs. teachers soccer game.
For more information on events for incoming freshmen, phone Port Angeles High School staff at 360-452-7602.
