The Link Crew is a program designed to help freshmen transition smoothly into high school. Link Leaders are experienced high school students that meet for training in the summer before the school year and serve as individual mentors for small groups of freshmen. The Link Leaders' most important day is the first day of school when only the freshmen attend (sophomores, junior, and seniors start their school year the next day), they spend the whole day with their groups doing prepared activities with the freshmen students.
