What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Do not waste time and do not waste your money. Take advantage of post-secondary option, take the AP classes and study hard on the tests. Don't worry about what your "friends" are doing or going, they are only focused on the now and have no concept of setting up their lives for an easier future. Take interest in what interests you and find ways to incorporate those intersts into your high school career. For example, if you like playing an instrument, join the band, doing well in your classes, tutor others, etc. All of these "above and beyond" applications of yourself will not only be something you can share with a college you are interst in but such applications will deepen you ethically, morally and personally building you up to be a stronger, more resiliant and positive person. Good luck, don't sweat the small stuff, don't judge others and be open to all ideas and opinions no matter how obscure they may be at the time.

My favorite class has been chemistry. The general chemistry class has a laboratory section. One day your in class discussing the theories and knowledge of chemistry. During the labs you get to experience these ideas in a very hands on experience. The labs are also designed in a way to stimulate your critical thinking skills.
I also took a calculus 1 course that had what I would call a lab. Which is something I've never experienced in a math class but was very nice to collaborate with peers and have a change of scenery in a class that at times can be very heady and monotonous.

Before I came to Normandale, I did not know a whole lot about college.

Having more information about those would have helped better plan for my future schooling. I also would have liked to know more about how credits worked, and tranferred, and more about the programs within school.
