Students Learn To Adjust In Order To In A New Environment It would be nice if everything always stayed the same. That way, no one would ever have to worry about adjusting to a new environment, new people, new ideas, etc. However, change brings variety and excitement to life. EHS students arc no exception in having to deal with the risks, as well as the rewards, of change. The most obvious adjustment is made by new students. They are forced to adjust to a new school and new people. Fifth graders found switching classes the hardest thing to adapt to. However, most new students, from all grades, agreed that the most difficult part about changing schools is having to make new friends. However, everyone has to learn how to handle seven new teachers. Along with the new teachers came a new environment. The first thing students noticed as they parked their cars was the building of the senior room behind the boys' gym.
