Incoming Freshmen

We are committed to engaging, supporting and helping each student and family at Pineville High School. The transition from 8th grade to high school can feel overwhelming with new halls, new people, new classes, new teachers, and new challenges. We are making a conscious effort to implement programs that will help incoming 9th graders feel a sense of community and belonging while learning skills for academic success.

Link Crew

We know students connect better with other students, which is where Link Crew comes in. Freshmen will build authentic relationships with peer mentors. These relationships are key to ensuring a successful transition into high school.

Some of the experiences your 9th grade can expect to benefit from in Link Crew include:
