A Middle School Student Advisory Program introduces a school-based adult advocate to every student for the purpose of fostering academic success and personal growth. The goals of this Middle School's Advisory Program are to ensure that each student has a staff advocate, provide a forum for topics relevant to adolescents in today’s world, create a safe, friendly place to receive support and modeling for academic pursuits and social interaction and promote coordination between home and school.
