Link Crew is a high school transition program that welcomes sophomores and makes them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their high school experience.  Built on the belief that students can help other students succeed, Link Crew trains members of the junior and senior classes to be Link Leaders.  As positive role models, Link Leaders are motivators, leaders and teachers who guide the sophomores to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to high school and help facilitate sophomore success. 

Here at Rolla High School, we believe it is vital for incoming sophomores to have that leadership to guide them in the right direction.  More and more studies show that if students have a positive experience their first year in high school, their chances for success increase dramatically.  Not only does this program help our sophomores become more successful, but allows our Link Leaders to gain even more experience leading groups and teaching others.

Since the high school has implemented PRIDE Time, the Link Crew Leaders are now able to guide the sophomore class more effectively without interrupting their class time.  The first few days of school are very confusing for sophomores and the Link Leaders were there with them every step of the way.  The Leaders taught them ways to get from class to class more efficiently, how to study and take tests to get great scores, and how to manage life with homework, extra-curriculars, etc.  The crews will be meeting with their Link Leaders once a month during PRIDE Time to continue to guide the sophomores to success through out the school year.
