Will adding a 2012 server as a Domain Controller in a 2008 Domain raise the domian function to 2012?

We have a domain that is currently 2008 servers as domain controllers.  We are ready to set up Server 2012 DCs.  We have added the role to a 2012 server, but have not promoted it just yet.

We are at step 11 of this tutorial http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000680.htm.

My question is will allowing the wizard to prep the forest, schema and domain going to raise the function level to 2012 or will it remain at 2008?

This was our thinking as well.  We had a nasty experience when we went from 2003 to 2008 and just needed a little reassurance that out thinking was correct.
