What is Link Crew?

Link Crew is a high school transition program that welcomes freshmen and makes them feel comfortable throughout their first year of high school. Students helping one another is what creates success. Link Crew trains juniors and seniors to be Link Leaders. As positive role models, Link Leaders become motivators, leaders and teachers who help the freshmen discover what it takes to be successful in high school.

What will it do for Freshmen?

Link Crew increases freshmen success; studies have shown that if students have a positive experience in their first year of high school, their chances for success are better.  Juniors and seniors who have already been through the challenges of high school understand how hard it is to adjust to a new school.  As Link Leaders, juniors and senior give support and guidance to the freshmen.

What will it do for Upperclassmen?

Link Crew is a leadership training program.  Juniors and seniors are trained in team building activities, cooperative skill development, and discussion skills.  Each Link Leader receives a list of 8-10 freshmen, in which they are to call and personally invite to the orientation.  Each Link is to work and stay in touch with their freshmen throughout the school year.
