9th Grade Retreat: Thursday, September 25, 2025 

The Freshmen Respect Retreat, conducted by Youth Frontiers and facilitated by WHS Link Crew, is a day for students to experience what school would be like if everyone was respected, and to challenge them to respect themselves and others.  We empower students to respect themselves more, and we engage the bystanders to stand up for the value of respect in their school. 

Our key objectives are: 1.)  Help students realize they matter, others matter and what they do matters; 2.)  Understand that disrespectful behavior is harmful and engage bystanders to stand up; 3.)  Identify ways to improve the culture of respect in your school and community. 

Throughout the day, the Youth Frontiers staff will lead community-building activities designed to break down social barriers help foster stronger relationships among students.  Our Retreat Staff share personal stories centered on the value of the day. With humor and heart, they challenge kids to make a difference in their school.  Throughout the day, students meet in small groups, facilitated by high school or adult leaders, to talk about what they are learning and experiencing.  At the end of the retreat, students have a chance to stand up and commit to how they will stand up for respect in their school community.  

Cost is $20.00 per student. Price will appear once drop down selections are made.

If paying by cash or check please have your student bring the payment to the Administration Office.
