Freshman Orientation is a time for the incoming freshman at Mira Costa to experience life on campus. They will meet new people, play icebreakers, and get a tour of the school. The freshman will start out altogether in the gym, but then will be separated into groups. These groups will be lead by a pair of link leaders. 

All of the freshmen met in the auditorium and received named tags, then they sat facing the stage. Dr. Dale, the principal, introduced himself and gave a short introduction to life at Costa. The freshman then played a few icebreakers until they were separated into groups of 8 or 9 of their peers and a pair of link leaders. Then the groups were put in individual classrooms where the link leaders led a series of games to get to know each other.  After that, the link leaders gave their freshman a tour of Costa, as well as helped them find their classes and open their lockers
