Practice Makes Perfect
The SEL Blog
Our mission is to provide support and available resources to assist students in developing character, confidence and leadership skills as they navigate through high school. We recognize a mentor program to be one that will foster the relationship with dedicated teachers and committed students to produce positive outcomes. Our goal is to promote positive encounters with staff, students and parents, improve attendance, promote school connectedness and enhance academic performance. We also acknowledge that the community plays an important role in helping students make a connection for life beyond high school. It takes a village to assist with student success.
