What is Link Crew?

Link Crew is an internationally recognized high school student leadership program that welcomes and mentors freshman students to help them feel more comfortable about the first year of their high school experience. Built on the belief that students can help students succeed, students from the junior and senior classes go through a 10+ hour training to be Link Crew Leaders. As positive role models, Link Crew Leaders will help guide freshman students to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to high school, help facilitate freshman success at NHHS, and make a positive impact on our school culture. 

More and more studies show that if students have a positive experience during their first year in high school, their chance for success increases dramatically. Link Crew provides the structure for freshmen to receive support and guidance from juniors and seniors who have been through the challenges that high school poses, and understand that the transition to a larger school environment can sometimes be overwhelming.

The goal is to provide a structure in which students make real connections with each other thus increasing respect among all members of our Sailor Nation, school safety, and Sailor pride. In August, Link Crew runs freshman orientation, "Anchor Down", where the freshman class will learn that people at NHHS care about them and their success. The Freshman class will also get a campus tour, lunch, and complete the registration process where they will take their ID and yearbook photo, make purchases at the Sailor Store, get locker assignments, and receive tentative schedules.
