Students crowd the hallways during lunch on the first day of school.

Nervous students crowd the halls and teachers make last-minute preparations . Old friends greet each other and new students try to orient themselves to the hustle and bustle of high school. Dreyfoos students and faculty, old and new, kicked off the school year today, Aug. 17.

“It was really nice because it was like freedom compared to my other school,” communications freshman Carissa August said. “I like the atmosphere.”

Fresh faces appeared at Dreyfoos, including social studies teacher Ross Vening, the new athletic director and AP U.S. History teacher. On the first day, Dreyfoos also welcomed the incoming class of 2019 to their first days of high school.

“It didn’t seem like a first day at all. High school isn’t as intimidating as I thought,” communications freshman Citlalli Villasenor said.

In addition to a new freshman class, older students and teachers also joined the Dreyfoos community.

“[The first day of school] was a really great experience, so much better than my old school. I’m glad I get to be a part of the Dreyfoos community,” said theatre junior Justin Rubenstein, who transferred to Dreyfoos from another school.

Dreyfoos also welcomed returning students who are ready to begin a new school year.

“It’s fun to see my friends again and I’m looking forward to the upcoming school year,”  piano junior Caroline Miller said.

About the Contributor
Jack Yan, News Editor
Communications senior Jack Yan is a third-year staffer and the News Editor on The Muse.

He is actively involved in his school and his community. For example, Yan is the current Co-President of the Dreyfoos SGA, interns at Harrington Law Associates, an international law firm based in South Florida, and serves on the West Palm Beach Education Advisory Committee for the Mayor of West Palm. In addition, he is Co-Captain of the Speech and Debate team where he has won local, state, and national awards. Most importantly, however, Yan loves puppies, kittens, colorful socks, dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, and pancakes.
