From Lions to Panthers: Fresh Fest Welcomes the Class of 2029

On August 22nd,  Masuk High School opened its doors with excitement and energy for Fresh Fest, the annual event welcoming the Class of 2029. This special day marked the official transformation from Lions to Panthers for the incoming freshmen, setting the tone for a successful school year.

Freshmen students had the opportunity to meet their RISE groups—small communities they will connect with throughout the year for support, guidance, and growth. These groups are designed to help students build strong relationships and feel connected to the Panther family.

One of the highlights of Fresh Fest was the chance for students to walk their schedules in advance, exploring their classrooms and getting familiar with the layout of the school. This helped ease first-day nerves and gave everyone a head start on navigating their new environment confidently.

Adding to the school spirit, every student received a brand-new Masuk shirt, a perfect way to show pride and unity as Panthers. The vibrant shirts were seen all around campus, symbolizing the fresh start and community spirit that define Masuk High.

Many teachers, especially those teaching freshmen, were on hand to greet and welcome the new Panthers, sharing encouraging words and offering support. Their presence helped create a warm and inviting atmosphere that made the students feel truly welcomed.

Fresh Fest is a beloved tradition at Masuk High School and continues to be a huge success every year. It’s a day full of enthusiasm, connection, and Panther pride, an unforgettable start for the Class of 2029.
