Student Transition Program (Inbound & Outbound)
At our school, military-connected students are at the heart of all we do.
Whether you are inbound or outbound, know that our Student Transition Program is here to support students during these times of transition.
Part of the Pacific Region’s Student Transition Program, our program includes:
- Welcome Aboard sessions
- Student Ambassador tours and lunch buddies
- Cultural experiences and trips
- Social/emotional support
- And much more!
