Program designed for students who are at risk of educational failure. The focus of this program is for students that are entering 9th grade. Students are selected for participation because they have demonstrated academic performance below grade-level expectations, are at-risk for failing to meet the state's academic content standards, or have social challenges that may put them at-risk of not being successful in school. The goal of the program is for students to establish positive connections with other classmates and staff and strengthen strong educational habits so that they are successful in High School and beyond.
