FRESHMAN GUIDE 3
LETTER FROM THE EDITORS
W
e’re sure you’ve heard this setup too many times to remember: Freshman year was… For some, it’s the hardest. For others, the easiest. The best. The “cringiest.” The most unforgettable. And it’s true - Freshman year can be a whole jumble of adjectives, thoughts, emotions, and memories. But for those of you worried about how you will make it through even the first day, we hope you can use this guide as a tiny bit of relief. Freshman year is a time of change, realization, and fundamental growth. Navigating high school can be an uphill battle for all - upperclassmen included. Although freshman year seems impossible in the moment, an inevitable growing fondness for this time will surprise you as you approach the end of your years at HIES. It’s important to get involved at HIES - to meet new friends and broaden your horizons. Start a new club. Try a different sport. Join a unique class (Journalism recommended). Sit somewhere new at lunch. Get to know your teachers as more than just teachers. Ask questions. Seek the unbeaten path. Success is never promised in any endeavor during high school, but cherish failures as much as your successes. That way, you can truly enjoy your four short remaining years at HIES without regrets of what you “wish you would have done.” We’re not ashamed to admit that HIES is our home away from home. We spend far too many hours at school (like WAY too many), but we wouldn’t rather spend them anywhere else because of the uniquely talented, compassionate people, and limitless opportunities. Take it from us (your resident seasoned seniors) -- embrace this time before it’s too late! Good luck, The Editors-in-chief of the C&G

FRESHMAN GUIDE 4
MEET MR. ADAM FRYE
What does a dean do? Deanery, in all shapes and form. All joking aside, I am here to support the Class of 2023 as they navigate high school. I will help you work with teachers, administrators, and most importantly, each other.
What courses do you teach? I teach AP United States Government and one of the new Senior History Seminars titled World War II: Myth versus Historical Reality. Thus, it seems I will not get to teach the class of 2023 until they are juniors or seniors.
Most distinguished characteristic? I don’t know if I call it distinguished, but I would say energy.
Freshman Class Dean
Happiest moment of your life? I will give the happiest moment of my career. My last school had a class that was for seniors called Independent Study. The first time I mentored a student in that class, Justin Onwenu chose to research HIV and compared how three different countries managed the disease from a public health policy viewpoint. It was a great project and I enjoyed working with him on it. Two years later he sent me an email explaining that he designed his own Public Health major at college and said it was in large part due to our work together.
Favorite sound? Funk.
JAYLEE DAVIS, editor-in-chief

Favorite fictional hero?
Biggest quirk?
Luffy D. Monkey, he’s gonna be the king of all the pirates.
Either my non sequitur commentary or my dance moves.
Quality you find most valuable in your friends?
Your hero in reality?
Being critical. Life is boring if everyone agrees and no one holds you to a higher standard. How else do we improve?
If you could die and come back as somebody else, who would it be? Well, this is morbid. I have grown pretty accustomed to being me, so I would say myself again.
Greatest fear? You mean besides that impending environmental catastrophe that will shake human civilization to its core? . . . Heights.
As a child what did you want to be when you grew up? A doctor. At 21, I decided it was not worth the extra 10 years of schooling.
Personal Motto?
“Live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.” Henry David Thoreau
My brother, he has two small children yet still has both his sanity and a sense of humor.
Who would you want to play your character in a movie? Seth Rogan. Not sure I have much choice on this one, have you seen us!
Any superstitions? Nope, just regular stitions.
Biggest pet peeve? Talking during performances. People are doing something beautiful and pouring their hearts out for you. Shut up and enjoy it.
If you could spend three days anywhere in the world where would it be? Hiking somewhere I have not been yet. Some coast line somewhere, those are the best hikes.
What are you most looking forward to this school year? Getting to know the Class of 2023.
Favorite smell? BBQ.

KATIE CRUCE
Upper School Counselor JAYLEE DAVIS, editor-in-chief
Hello Class of 2023! Welcome to the Upper School – I’m so glad you’re here! While I hope to meet each and every one of you in person soon, I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I’m Mrs. Cruce, the Upper School Counselor. My role here is multi-faceted, but it boils down to – I am here to support you, our students. Before I share more about what I do at Holy Innocents’, I wanted to share a little about myself. I am an Atlanta native and this is my fourth year at HIES. I love the community here and outside of my role as Upper School Counselor, I also coach JV Football Cheerleading, oversee the Peer Mentor program with Mr. Frye (you will meet your Peer Mentors soon if you haven’t already!), lead the Student Wellness Board, and help advise the GSA (Genders and Sexualities Alliance). I try to go to as many athletic events, concerts, and theatre performances that I can – please tell me when yours are!! Outside of school, I enjoy
trying new restaurants with my husband, traveling, watching documentaries, listening to Podcasts, and hanging with our Golden Retriever, Murphy (I will happily show you a picture whenever you want!). Now, a little more about what you can expect from me here in the Upper School. While I believe high school can be full of fun, opportunity, and growth, it can also be a time of change, full of challenges and struggles. No matter what those struggles and challenges are for you, you deserve to have someone who can lend a listening ear, give gentle guidance, or simply provide a quiet space to take a break. I talk with students about all kinds of things, from academic concerns and issues with friends to family worries or feeling anxious or depressed, and anything in between. While I am certainly someone to come to if you are facing something “big,” my office is open to the seemingly “little” things too! I work closely with teachers, deans, and parents,
FRESHMAN GUIDE 7
but know that I will not share anything we talk about with someone else without your permission. My office is a place for you to be open and honest about whatever you need. Throughout the year, with help from the Student Wellness Board, I will bring in various speakers and mental health based events, so if you have any ideas for what you and other students may find most helpful, please don’t hesitate to let me know! I am available at any time throughout the day. You can either just stop by my office (Riley 45) or email me to find a time to meet (Katie.cruce@hies.org). Many students find their study hall a great time to meet, but I’m also available before and after school and at lunch. Again, I am here for you, so I hope you’ll come by and introduce yourself! I hope you all have a fabulous year! Go Bears, Mrs. Cruce
FACES OF HIES

ust within the Groesbeck building, otherwise known as the “Senior Building”, lies Mrs. Rivera’s freshman Honors Lit class. Some of you will spend your first days in this classroom, but you will all spend your last days in this building and as an alumnus herself, Mrs. Rivera understands just what it means to grow into yourself at HIES. “You are going to change so much over the next four years. Learn from the failures, the hard times, the fights with friends, the stress of balancing academics, extra-curriculars, social life, and family. Take joy in learning, not just in getting the A,” she said. With this change in mind, Mrs. Rivera does not expect you to be perfect. She knows that this idea of “imperfection” can be difficult for students to accept, especially for those who have always surpassed expectations, but she doesn’t want you to be perfect. “If they were, I wouldn’t have a job.” she said. One thing she does want you to do is keep an organized calendar. While it may seem simple, it can take you a long way when your WiFi isn’t working, or you wrote it down on your hand, but washed it off, and the assignment is due the next day. These simple practices will help you to succeed in any class no matter the subject. “Sometimes teachers write assignments on the board or mention them in class, you are still responsible for completing those assignments, even if they aren’t on Canvas,” she said. Most importantly, Mrs. Rivera wants you to be open to new ideas and take joy in learning. “Learning should be joyful,” she said, when asked about why she will often bring donuts or bagels to class for students. “High school is hard, and sometimes a surprise treat can be the difference between a 100% awful day and a day that’s just 95% awful.

cross from Groesback, and up three, long, never-ending flights of stairs is Mr. Boltri’s physics classroom. As one of three physics teachers, Mr. Boltri, aims to encourage deeper thinking and skepticism within his classes. “I try to help students develop their ability to ask meaningful questions and investigate the world around them.” he said. One of the ways he encourages these ideas, is through a scientist of the week. In his room hangs 65 posters, each with an individual who has impacted the scientific world, from Chemistry to Astronomy. “I hope to spark my students’ curiosity and inspire their belief in their own ability to make a positive change in the world around them,” he said.
MR. BOLTRI
Mr. Boltri also aims to encourage students’ to take more ownership in learning. One example he mentioned was the science department’s homework policy. Since homework is worth 0% of your grade, many students assume that they don’t have to do it, but aside from a serious case of Mr. Boltri side eye, comes another consequence. “I hope they come to realize that arriving unprepared actually inhibits their ability to learn.” Aside from his expertise in the classroom, Mr. Boltri is a caring teacher. As an advisee to Mr. Boltri, I have experienced his willingness to help while still maintaining his quirky sense of humor. In the end, Mr. Boltri, wants to look up and see all of the growth you’ve achieved from August to May. “Whether it’s missing a deadline, forgetting a commitment, or saying something you wish you hadn’t, you’re going to mess up. The key to growing as a person isn’t trying to make sure you never make a mistake; it’s responding appropriately when you inevitably do. Own your mistakes, and make sure you learn from them,” he said.

STUDENT COUNCIL
The student council represents the voice and interests of the Upper School student body. Class representatives are elected on a grade level basis by popular vote. Committee chairs are selected by application. The primary qualifications for running for office are good academic standing with the school and a clean disciplinary record. Student council members are well-known for their endless “behind the scenes” involvement in various scholastic activities and Freshman class positions include Class President, Class Vice President, and Class Representative.
Mary Camile Quigley, Senior Class President I am Senior Class President and I ran for this position in the spring of Junior year. Student Council meets every Wednesday during lunch to discuss activities and functions that are happening around the school. Members work behind the scenes at Upper School and all school events including Open House, Convocation, spirit weeks, fundraisers, and Graduation. Often, we also meet with SAGE, Mr. Barton and Mr. Weir to learn what’s happening around the school and fill them in on our plans. The most important obligation of being on student council is being a representative that has the students’ best interest. This includes making all opinions from classmates heard and voiced in meetings and taking action. An aspect of student council that I find most challenging is making all of our ideas a reality.
When brainstorming in meetings, many times we create an extravagant and elaborate plan, but making it happen takes compromise, dedication and communication. Acting as the liaison between students and faculty, sometimes even in different divisions can be difficult, especially when dealing with schedules and conflicts. It is the class officers’ responsibility to keep their class in the loop of upcoming events and letting them know when and where they need to be. An aspect of student council that I find most rewarding is seeing the school’s participation in events, fundraisers and sales. Together, we work hard and try to go the extra mile to make each function as fun as possible. Seeing the community’s excitement over Star Wars day, House competitions and spirit weeks is so validating. One must be willing to compromise and maintain an open mindset because it makes the job much more fun and easier. Members should always be approachable for faculty and classmates, so that they are comfortable sharing their input with you. Work ethic is key when bringing ideas to life and working through various details to ensure a successful outcome.
FRESHMAN GUIDE 23
HONOR COUNCIL
The honor council serves to uphold the principles of Holy Innocents’ integrity and honor codes as role models in the school community. Similar to student council, the primary qualifications are to be in good academic standing with the school and a clean disciplinary record. The main obligations for the honor council members are to defend the honor code and attend honor council hearings. Openings for positions vary, but all members are selected by popular vote from the student body.
Mary Grace Tippett, Honor Council Representative I’m a member of the honor council, and I was voted onto it by the student body. Like the student handbook says, the honor council “actively promotes the ideals of academic integrity and personal responsibility and to encourage a culture of trust throughout the school community”. To sum it up, the honor council helps all students, including the members, learn the rights and wrongs of the honor code, and it creates a greater trust between everyone. There are two separate groups of the honor council who attend certain meetings, or hearings. The members will usually receive the details of the meeting a few days before. The two groups switch between meetings so no one has to go too many times.
Each member is expected to uphold the honor code in such a manner that they would be seen as a role model to all other students. They should also regularly attend hearings. Being on the honor council allows me to be a part of a very important and influential group at school, so the most rewarding part is probably seeing the good that comes from it. Because the honor council is made up of students, it’s sometimes hard to question and come up with consequences for your peer or someone a few grades older than you. Someone who is fit for honor council is a role model to other students, easily approachable, organized, and mature enough to question their own classmates.
