Wesleyan will soon set aside its original green and gold colors and embody the iconic red, white and blue. The countdown for homecoming has already begun, and this year’s theme is the most patriotic of them all: America.
Every year before the first day of school, the freshman class spends two days together on a retreat to form new relationships with their classmates. This year, the class of 2020 spent two nights at a Carolina Point, a Young Life camp in North Carolina.
This year, not only will juniors and seniors be writing articles for the Green and Gold, but sophomores will now be tagging onto the team. Contrary to past years, sophomores have now become members of the Green and Gold staff for the first time ever.
New year, new schedule. Contrary to previous years, the high school began the 2016-2017 school year with a different schedule. The new schedule was diligently crafted by many high school faculty members from various departments, to benefit the Wesleyan students, teachers, and community as a whole.
While the schedule is not entirely different from last year’s, it does include some significant changes.
Wesleyan has been locked in AA for a number of years, and it has made quite a name for itself there. Many teams, including tennis, baseball and girls basketball, have won state championships in AA.
However, all of this is about to change. Wesleyan has fewer than 520 students, the threshold required for class AA, so they are now a part of class A. Wesleyan is a part of the largest region in A, and therefore they will be facing a lot of new competition. Although there is some skepticism from the community, this will bring a lot of change to the sports programs creating an overall positive impact at Wesleyan.
