Next year’s senior peer mentors are named
Juniors will enroll in spring class for training, instruction
Earlier in the school year, senior peer mentors gathered with the freshmen on the football practice field.
Senior peer mentors have been selected for the 2021-2022 school year.
Ms. Katherine Klee, who is one of two teachers who supervise the peer mentor program, said next year’s mentors will enroll in a class during spring semester that will cover curriculum building, social emotional training, Holy Cross core values, the school’s history and programs including freshman orientation.
Klee said, “I think (the peer mentor program) has been incredibly moving to the freshmen, and I get to see it first hand and see the connections made. I feel like the freshmen know that they have someone that they can turn to from Day 1 in their freshman resource.”
Klee said, “Peer mentoring started over 30 years ago as a way to keep freshmen at Cathedral because (a counselor) noticed (some ninth-graders) were leaving after their freshman year.”
Peer mentoring provides a way to help freshmen be comfortable at their school and to know their way around much more quickly. Klee said, “It has become a strong asset to our school towards the freshmen and made it a secure environment.”
