FYIs & FAQs for New Students - 2023

Booker T. is a great place to grow as a student and artist...However, it can be a little overwhelming before you even get through the front doors! Here you'll find answers to most of your questions and, hopefully, clarify your confusions. If you're still not sure about something, just ask! We're so excited to have you here at Booker T. and we make sure there's always someone here to help.

Before School Starts...

Parents that are new to Booker T. should make sure to attend the orientation in August. There will be VERY important information given about new graduation requirements.
FLIGHT School is very important and all new students attend this event.  FLIGHT School is a fantastic way to learn more about Booker T. from your new peers. Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors are fused with new students to help them find their classes, learn about the school, meet new people and feel comfortable here at Booker T. Thanks to Flight School, no new student eats alone at lunch—which we all know is the worst part of the first week!!   They will also meet with their Conservatory Coordinator that day for a very important meeting.  Lunch will be served. 
Schedule for Flight School - will arrive in a separate mailing.

Check the website for Summer Assignments!
