Kelsi Young, a 16-year-old junior, announced at 7:50 a.m. that she needed a nap.

Jacob Chumbley, who greeted people with the enthusiastic hugs only a 16-year-old can manage before 8 a.m., said he was looking forward to seeing his friends, meeting new teachers and planning a good prom.
Share the joy
