North Central High School

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:

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.
