Freshman Parent Parties

All Central parents who have a freshman are invited to attend a casual Friday night party at the beginning of the school year. These parties are hosted and co hosted by other freshman parents who have volunteered to open their homes. These parties provide incoming parents a chance to meet.

Parents of incoming freshmen are themselves newcomers. Though these parents probably felt very comfortable in their previous schools, many different middle schools feed into Hinsdale Central. Their children will be riding with, going home with, studying with and partying with new students they have never met. These parties will give all of the freshman parents a way to meet and communicate in the future.

Parties are organized around guidance counselor groups. Since counselor groups are alphabetical, they happily cut across interests, ethnicity, and abilities. Parents have an opportunity to see a slice of the whole of Hinsdale Central, just as freshmen do when they walk through the halls.

This event is highly supported by the Hinsdale Central High School administration. The principal, other senior staff, guidance counselors and PTO officers go to as many parties as possible. These parties have been very well received in the past. That is why we continue this unique tradition, that only Hinsdale Central has provided for their new parents.
