As the class of 2025 settles in as new Falcons, they are undoubtedly feeling the true pressure of what it means to be a highschooler in a highly competitive area. Students at FLHS need academic support more than ever with the return of schooling in person. The staff and upperclassmen at FLHS have recently begun to take measures towards providing students with the academic support necessary, such as  free subject-area tutoring by Honors Society students.

 “It’s my second year on the Math National Honors Society, and I’ve tutored more students just this week than I did over the course of two months last year,” says one Ludlowe upperclassman.

 “I’ve never had more homework in my life, but at least I know I can get help when I need it,” Ludlowe freshman Gabe Alprin explained. The class of 2025’s troubles serve to show the need that they have for tutoring and connection with upperclassmen. 

Students spend their entire day at school being taught by their teachers, so an opportunity to learn with a peer mentor provides a comfortable environment in which the student can ask questions and interact freely.
