Owl Link Leaders

  • Link Crew is a student-centered leadership and mentor program. It provides structure for freshmen to receive support and guidance from upper-classmen who have been through the challenges that high school poses. Link Crew support creates “connected” freshmen who feel welcomed, wanted and behave differently; they are more respectful, less antagonistic, more involved and care more about themselves and the school community in general.

    Link Leaders step up and become a substantial presence on campus acting as models of positive behavior which is ultimately a catalyst of climate change at our school. Two natural by-products of Link Crew are a strong sense of character development and the emergence of an anti-bullying environment. Students are more connect to each other, involved in their school and empowered to make a difference.
