The Oakton High School freshmen class is excited to be starting the first stage of high school: freshman year!

Freshmen are busy understanding graduation requirements, exploring post-graduate plans, and participating in various Cougar activities--such as sporting events, for the first time. This is a time of uncertainty for Oakton High School freshmen because graduation seems so far away... Of course, freshman year is also highlighted by graduation to sophomore status.

Resources

The Freshman Handbook is a resource that we found helpful to our students.

Cougar FAQ provides students with information about homework, conferences and tutoring.
