The Link Leader Program is a freshman high school transition program. Juniors and seniors apply to become Link Leaders and are chosen by a group of faculty and administrative team members. Link Leaders are trained in team building, cooperative skills, and mentoring. Each Link Leader is responsible for a group of 6 - 8 incoming freshmen for whom he will serve as a motivator, role model, and advisor throughout the school year. Link Leaders welcome freshmen at the beginning of the year on orientation day and meet periodically during the year with their freshmen at school-sponsored social and academic events and activities. All freshmen are involved with O’Dea’s Link Leader program.
