What is Link Crew?
Link Crew is a freshman transition program that welcomes freshmen and makes them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their high school experience. Built on the belief that students can help students succeed, Link Crew trains members of the junior and senior class to be Link Leaders. As POSITIVE role models, Link Leaders are motivators, leaders and teachers who guide the freshmen to discover what it takes to be successful in high school.
A year with the Link Crew begins with a spirited and interactive freshman orientation at the start of the school year. After a general assembly, the Link Leaders lead their Crew of nine to ten freshmen through a series of fun, positive activities designed to help them all get to know each other as well as learn important campus information. These activities also spark discussion and thought regarding the upcoming responsibilities, choices and challenges of being in high school. The goal of the day is to welcome the freshmen to their new campus and encourage them to think about the path they will take during the next four years.
After orientation Link Crew continues, providing a variety of Social Follow Up Activities throughout the year, beginning with the Freshman Only Dance in September. Social Follow Ups provide social settings for the Link Leaders and their Crews to reconnect and further build relationships outside the classroom.
