Please allow our Link Leaders to guide your student, in a peer to peer setting, in order to feel prepared and confident for their first day of high school!

This is where you will receive schedules, ID Cards, books, lockers, go on a campus tour,  and get to know your future class of 2028 classmates through the Link Crew Activities. Our Link Leaders are ready to meet you and help make your transition into high school as comfortable as possible!
