It’s like if summer camp and freshman orientation came together for one exciting day. Students will explore North Central, meet other freshmen, connect with upperclassmen leaders, learn key skills for a strong freshman year, and get excited about starting high school.

By the end of the day, students will:

• Become more comfortable navigating the building
• Meet new freshmen and upperclassmen leaders
• Learn skills for a successful freshman year
• Explore ways to get involved
• Start the year with confidence

Students attend based on their last name:

A-D: Tuesday, July 21st
E-K: Wednesday, July 22nd
L-R: Thursday, July 23rd
S-Z: Friday, July 24th

Time for all sessions:
8:30 AM to 3:30 PM

Note:
To keep groups small and give every student the full PantherQuest experience, students should attend their assigned day for the full session. If your student has a scheduling conflict, they should attend another day that works. Please do not switch days so students can attend with friends.

PantherQuest takes place at North Central High School.

Address:
1801 East 86th Street

Lunch:
Students will have a lunch break in the cafeteria. Please send your student with a sack lunch. Food will not be available for purchase or provided by the cafeteria.

House Huddle:
Incoming students will learn their House Huddle for the next four years. Students who do not attend PantherQuest will be randomly placed into a House.

ParentQuest is designed for families new to North Central and families who want to feel more connected before the school year begins.

Parents will hear from:

• PTO
• The Foundation
• PantherQuest leadership
• Former North Central students

Families will learn how to support their student’s transition into high school.

Date, time, and Zoom link will be shared later.
