Students share pieces of advice for students who are in or just entering high school.
As the school year kicks off, Townsend Harris High School welcomes new Harrisites, who are starting the next chapter of their education in high school. The start of the school year is always a great time to reflect and to set goals for the upcoming year ahead. Returning Harrisites look back to when they were a freshman, and share advice on freshman year and high school as a whole for the class of 2029.
