Politically correct term for an American 1st year high school student.

1. The politically correct way to say freshman

Random person's rant:
When I heard that it is politically incorrect to call first year high school students freshman, I couldn't believe my ears. Now they are to be called freshpeople! (Singular-freshperson)
