Connetquot High School students from the Class of 2024 and the Class of 2025 were welcomed by administrators and faculty during an orientation program, held in the auditorium on Aug. 25. Principal Michael Moran and Assistant Principals Brian Dolan, Michelle Laux and Mark Sidman welcomed students to the start of the 2021-2022 school year and provided them with information to assist in their transition to the high school.

“We are here to support your success,” Mr. Sidman told the students. “For the next four years, you need to challenge yourselves. The responsibility begins with you.”

Students learned about expectations, the bell schedule, guidance counselor assignments, clubs and activities and schedules. Most importantly, participants were strongly encouraged to become involved to make their four-year experience at Connetquot High School memorable. The morning commenced with students taking a building tour and speaking with members of school organizations at booths set up in the hallways.
