The school year started early for the class of 2018.
Incoming freshmen came to school for two days in August to learn about the policies and procedures at Benjamin Carson High School and to get to know each other and the staff. The team building exercises were some of the favorite activities.
“It was good to meet new people before school started,” freshman Brandy Curry said.
“It was like a meet and greet,” said freshman LaRone Johnson. “Building the gum drop towers was fun.”
Freshmen are making adjustments to the differences. Christopher Brown said that he likes the block schedule. Coriell and Chemele Turner both said they are enjoying the school. They chose Benjamin Carson High School because they wanted to start a new school for their high school experience.
Many of the freshmen chose Benjamin Carson High School because they hope to be involved with the medical field in their future.
“This was my first choice because I would like to be an OBGYN,” said freshman Summer Ballard.
“My first school option was King, but I came here instead based on my career goals,” said Ronniseia Jones.
Freshman Ivyona Springer said, “I hope to be a pediatrician, so that is why I chose this school.”
