Shadow Days
Choosing the right high school can be an exciting but challenging process. A Shadow Visit allows your future Elder Panther to walk in the shoes of a current student during the course of a normal school day. Your son will be greeted by his host at the start of his day, have the opportunity to speak with current students and our esteemed faculty members, walk the halls during a campus tour, and experience the Elder classroom.
