Find out if they will be attending your high school and/or know anyone that is going to your school. Just like middle school, some of your friends will be going to different high schools, and some may have moved out of your state or country. If you have a sister or brother who has attended, you may want to ask about how people are at your new school. This is an important discussion topic. Tell your friends that as much as you like them, you will be open to new friendships in high school, you will meet new people, but that this won't necessarily impact your friendship. Tell your friend(s) that they are welcome to make new friends as well, and everyone can hang out together. This may be hard for a close group of friends because they are so used to staying together, so remember to have this chat. This can be through social media sites and/or through other friends, it is easy to find some of the classmates you might have in the upcoming year. If your friend knows them, or talks to them, try to organize a date where you can all hang out together so you can get to know them. Developing new friendships before high school starts can calm the nerves of the first day, knowing you are not alone. You obviously won't get to know everyone, but that's part of the fun! On the first day of high school (or orientation day) you will be faced with other students you may not know, as well as new teachers. This is when first impressions are established. Remember to keep an open mind and stick by a friend as you are meeting others.
