To get incoming sixth-grade students and new seventh and eighth grade students introduced to their new learning environment, the Principal of Clinton Junior High School is planning a full day to learn the ins-and-outs next Wednesday.

Clinton Junior High School Principal Josh Maxwell told Regional Radio News Thursday morning on the WHOW morning show, the first day of school, Wednesday, August 21 will be a time for their new students to learn the building and get good information about many challenges facing junior high schoolers.

Maxwell explains students will be hitting some breakout sessions to start the day learning about several aspects of being a junior high student. He notes they will also get a brief introduction to their teachers and learn the hallways and where their classes are.

Wednesday night, Maxwell and his staff hosted their annual cookout which invited the students together for grill food, chips, and cookies. This year he also opened up the building and allowed for students to get in and get supplies in their lockers or meet teachers and find their classes.
