9th Grade Success Program

Ninth grade students actively participate in our Freshman Success Program - designed to provide a seamless transition from middle school to St. Joseph High School. More specifically, two School Counselors and a team of dedicated SJ staff members are charged with guiding and supporting our newest Cadets throughout this transitional year. This is especially important because the freshman class includes students from 34 towns and 50 middle schools. 

The 9th Grade Success Program curriculum includes academic empowerment, resiliency, executive functioning skills, and personal responsibility. Through a variety of workshops, speakers, and service opportunities, we ensure that all freshmen receive regular academic guidance and support; are able to easily access school resources; and are connected to the community through social and service opportunities as they discover their unique aptitudes and passions. Further, the 9th Grade Success Program’s initiatives will increase the scope and frequency of peer-to-peer mentorship and diverse opportunities for involvement across all school departments for our newest Cadets.
