First Steps as a Raccoon, The Freshman Experience

🎙️Welcome to Keeping Up With the Raccoons—the official podcast of Oconomowoc High School! I’m your host, Principal Jason Curtis (aka the one Raccoon you can’t catch up with).

In this episode, I sit down with four of our current freshmen to talk about what it’s really like to take that first step into the Raccoon Experience. From navigating the transition to high school to exploring academic interests and early career ideas, they share honest reflections on their first year at OHS.

Their stories offer valuable insight for our incoming freshmen—proof that your high school journey isn’t about having everything figured out on day one. It’s about discovering who you are, trying new things, and making choices that help shape who you’re becoming.

Whether you’re preparing to start high school or supporting someone who is, this episode is a great reminder that every Raccoon’s journey begins with one step—and it’s okay to grow as you go. 🦝🎓
