Welcome, Freshmen - You've Got This!

Starting high school at Marysville Getchell is exciting, but let’s be real—it can also feel overwhelming. New schedules, new teachers, bigger hallways, and a whole new world of opportunities. And it’s not just the students—parents are learning the ropes, too!

The Green & Gold Booster Club wants you to know: you’re not alone, and you’ve got a community here to help you thrive.

1. Start Small, Stay Steady

• Focus on getting to class on time, learning your teachers’ expectations, and figuring out your daily routine.

• Don’t try to master everything in the first week—high school is a marathon, not a sprint.

2. Get Involved

• Join a sport, band, club, or activity that interests you—it’s the fastest way to make friends and feel part of the MGHS community.

• Parents—encourage your student to try new things, even if they’re nervous.

3. Build Good Habits Early

• Stay on top of assignments and ask for help when you need it.

• Use a planner or digital calendar to keep track of homework, practices, and events.

• Parents—check Skyward regularly to stay in the loop.

4. Explore the Support Around You

• Teachers, counselors, coaches, and club advisors all want to see students succeed.

• The Green & Gold Booster Club is here to support athletics, music, and school-wide events—meaning we’re cheering for every student at MGHS.

5. Give Yourself Grace

• Mistakes happen—schedules get mixed up, and sometimes you take the long way to class. It’s all part of the learning curve.

• Every senior you see walking the halls once stood right where you are now.

💚💛 Freshmen, welcome to MGHS—you’re part of the Charger family now. Parents, welcome to the journey. The Boosters are here to make high school a place where your student can learn, grow, and belong.
