FRESHMEN SUCCESS TEAM

Mission Statement: To help incoming Highland freshman feel welcomed, needed and important to the Highland family. Each freshman will be assigned to a member of the staff or faculty as a mentee. They will be contacted throughout the year to monitor their progress. The Freshmen Success Team will contact those who are having trouble in the classroom to offer assistance, tutoring or mediation on the student's behalf. Each freshman will be encouraged to participate in at least two extra-curricular activities/teams/clubs during his/her freshman year.

Goal: For ALL Freshmen to be academically successful, and adapt to the changes that come with high school.
