[header] How to begin high school [title] Visit the school's website. [step] Your high school's website will provide a lot of great information about what the school looks like, what the school is best at, and what types of programs the school has to offer. You can look for clubs you might be interested in joining, and you can check out photos of the school itself. 
[substeps] Some schools have staff sites, so you can check out your teachers once you receive your schedule. See if you can find an events calendar.
