On Thursday, January 3, 2018, Midlothian High School graduates from the Class of 2018 returned to their alma mater to pass on their newly acquired college wisdom to juniors and seniors. The following current college freshmen came back to Midlo and shared everything they wish they knew when applying to colleges and in high school: Dilpreet Jaswal, Kyle Daniluk, Katie Daniluk, Addie White, Eva Johnson, B.J. Beckwith, Finlay Raphael, Hanna Cottrell, Haley Young, Meredith Puster, Morgan Gilbert, Kennley Elliott, Spencer Dornman, Paul Covert, Elijah Dornman, Calvin Fuller, and Bryce Mann.

Katie Daniluk upheld the number one rank while at Midlo, and she now attends the University of Virginia.
