School Spotlight: Armstrong High’s Mentoring Program Connects Freshmen 

Armstrong High School’s BARR program pairs freshmen with upperclassmen in an effort to help younger students navigate high school. BARR stands for Building Assets, Reducing Risk. “It’s a big adjustment to go from the middle school into a big high school,” said Bella Enger, a mentor. “I try to reach out to help and say ‘hey, do you need help with this?, or ‘It looks like you’ve taken a little longer on this.’”
