1. No one knows where they’re going

You’re not the only person who hasn’t had a school year in this building yet. Everyone, freshmen to seniors and even faculty, is going to be completely new to this school building. It’s okay to get lost, because everyone will be!

2. The teachers don’t have it figured out

Most of the teachers and faculty were only allowed into the building with less than a month left until school started. Give your teachers a break while they get adjusted to their new surroundings.

3. The new rules apply to everyone

With a new building comes new facilities, new classrooms and new rules to make sure the building doesn’t fall to pieces during its first year. While some changes can be difficult to adjust to, they’re there to make sure that nothing happens to this new building or the students and faculty in it.

4. Passing periods are the same length

Even with a bigger school, the administrative staff checked and double-checked that the passing periods were the right length for all students to make it to their classes, so long as they don’t stand around and talk instead.

5. We have a home field

Gone are the days of having homecoming games at Lindenwood or practices at Lou Fusz, FHN now boasts its own field with its own bathrooms, locker rooms and improved livestream equipment, for those who can’t make it to the games in person but still want to be a part of the action.
