Freshman Advisory
Overview
The Freshman Advisory program offers all ninth-grade students a daily small-group experience designed to support their transition to high school and lay the foundation for long-term success. Throughout the year, students build essential academic and social skills, explore topics relevant to adolescent life, and form meaningful connections with peers and staff. Advisory sessions focus on goal setting, time management, community building and personal growth, all within a supportive and inclusive environment. Each advisory group is co-led by a teacher and trained senior advisors who serve as mentors and role models.
