A mass of 8th graders stepped off the precipice of middle school and entered the threshold of a whole new world: high school. Some braved the steps into the PAC with their heads high, ready for whatever might come their way, whereas others shielded their faces and averted their gaze as they spotted the edifice of South Forsyth High School.

A new generation of War Eagles visited campus; students from Lakeside Middle School, South Forsyth Middle, and Piney Grove Middle had to opportunity to tour their future school. Graduating in 2023, these middle-school students got to taste a bit of high school life as they walked from the Marketing building all the way to East Hall as the tour guide discussed the student life and classes offered. The students sported timid looks as they slowly filed into the PAC to have an introductory slideshow by Ms. MacAllaster to discuss the number of credits they need to graduate and the types of classes they should be taking.

Some students were eager with questions about lunch time and fascinated with the bustle of students as they switched for classes; others were shocked at the height and facial hair of the seniors roaming the halls. The tour guides were ready to answer the questions that these middle schools had been anxiously waiting to ask, such as where to go when you check out or how much time is there between classes. High school is different from middle school because students are given more freedoms and have the opportunity to control their schooling more than they could in eighth grade.
