Students preparing to enter ninth or 10th grade at McLean High School are the focus of the second episode of “Hallway Headlines,” released June 1, 2026.
The podcast installment features two sophomores discussing advice for incoming freshmen and rising sophomores. Their conversation is intended to help students begin the coming school year smoothly, whether they are entering high school for the first time or advancing into their second year.
By addressing both grade levels, the episode brings together guidance for two different transitions. New freshmen are approaching their first year at McLean, while upcoming sophomores are preparing to build on their initial high school experience.
The school-focused discussion continues the “Hallway Headlines” podcast series. Its first episode centered on summer plans, while Episode 2 shifts attention toward preparing for the academic year ahead and helping younger students navigate their next grade level.
