Class of 2019 become Pioneers

The newest Pioneers started school with orientation and a day of service.
Another school year at Saint John's has begun, and the halls are once again bustling with 1,000 students from all over Central Massachusetts. This year, even more doors opened with the addition of the new Founders Hall, which provided new classroom spaces for world languages, fine arts, and social studies departments.

"Big Red" senior leaders spent Freshman Orientation day leading tours and showing the newest class the ropes of day-to-day life as a Pioneer.

The class of 2019 and all transfer students had their first day on campus on Wednesday, September 2 when they arrived at Saint John's for orientation. They met administrators, visited their classes and new teachers, and toured their school with fellow freshmen and "Big Red" senior leaders. The rapidly growing Big Red program brings together the seasoned seniors of the school and groups of freshmen to show them the ropes, introduce them to the environment, and occasionally tie a few ties.

The class of 2019 spent day two at the Community Harvest Project in Grafton working on the farm. See pictures from the first retreat for the class of 2019. All new students visited the Community Harvest Project in Grafton, where they went to work picking and cleaning vegetables and learning how the farm grows its many crops with the help of community members to distribute across the region through the Worcester County Food Bank.
