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.
