**Principal Emma Frost stands behind the podium on the stage. Beside her is Vice-Principal Bruce Wayne. Before them in the auditorium is the gathering of the entire student body of Hero High and the faculty as well seated throughout**
Principal Frost: Welcome. As I am not fond of speeches, and I am certain you are all anxious to begin your classes...
"HA!"
**Frost frowns**
Principal Frost: Thank you Mister Drake. Again, I will make this as short as possible. Many of you are here today to begin your journey into young adulthood in the life your gifts and talents have bestowed upon you.
**She meets young Wally West's eyes**
Principal Frost: Many are continuing that same path...
**She looks to Chastity Marks**
Principal Frost: ...And to others, this year marks the final year where that path draws to a close and you enter the world around us as adults, and perhaps even heroes.
While you are here, you will be expected to conduct yourselves in accordance with the rules and decorum of the traditions we have set here in these halls since this school was first established. Remember, you are here to learn to use your abilities to the best of your own, and for the betterment of the world around you. You will learn control and discipline. When you leave, you will have the open options of either joining the world around you, or to use what you have learned in order to serve it and its protection.
While here, you can certainly feel free to approach us, the faculty, if you are in need of assistance. I do not want you to feel you can not approach us for any reason. If you need someone close to your own age to talk to, the student RA for the boys dorm is Robert Drake, and for the girls, Mindee, Phoebe and Celeste Cuckoo. If you would be so kind to stand up so your peers will know whom to approach.
**Bobby Drake and the Cuckoo triplets stand momentarily before sitting back down**
Principal Frost: You have been given your respective class schedules in your welcome packet along with the rules of this school and your dorm. There is a curfew of 9PM on school nights, and 11PM on weekends. Curfew is not to be ignored or you will be reprimanded. While you are here, your dorm and this school is to be your home. You do not leave school grounds without notifying a teacher.
School clubs are now in open enrollment if you wish to join any. A complete list can be found in the rec center on campus. This goes for all sports teams as well. if you wish to join one, contact the coach of that team.
Finally...our own miss Cassandra Sandsmark will be hosting a pizza party in the cafeteria this first weekend after our first week of classes. Feel free to stop by and enjoy yourself, and thank her while you are at it.
Now classes begin in thirty minutes. Good luck to you all.
**Principal Frost steps back from the podium and the gymnasium slowly empties**
