160 of our most fabulous juniors and seniors dedicate their time, energy and love for SLPHS by serving as mentors to 9th graders and new students. We get together for various reasons throughout the year - most of them are crazy fun, too! We obviously thrive on participation by "mentees" - they are why we exist! We were the 2nd school in the state of Minnesota to start this program ... and we're the best! |
