Fresh U
The best way to start your freshman year
Fresh U is a high school transition program that fosters a growth mindset and increases skills for success in high school for new freshman students. The goal is for students to seamlessly integrate into the new school environment, have a web of resources when in need of assistance or support, and find avenues for success in school.
Fresh U focuses on four areas to prepare students for high school.
Orientation: Students learn about their new campus and become familiar with aspects of the campus culture.
Transition: Students get their questions answered and learn more about how high school is different from middle school. Topics may include: class schedule, grades, lunch, use of technology, homework, tardies, and more.
Academic Empowerment: Students explore various subject areas and passions through exploratory activities and ongoing projects.
Mentorship: An ongoing mentorship model supports continued growth and success throughout the first year of high school.
Leadership: Students gain valuable experiences that enable them to be campus leaders.
