2008-2009 Senior Mentors
 

The Senior Mentoring Program is a unique service that we offer here at LHN. As in the past years, juniors were individually selected to serve as mentors to next year's incoming freshmen. Some activities look for academics, specific talents (music, sports, acting) or even popularity. Senior Mentor selections are made on their hearts - recommendations from their pastor and teachers, and especially a willingness to serve with a joyful spirit. This is a difficult process because so many of our students "qualify" by doing great things for each other.

Doctor Williams leads our mentors through a training program which prepares them to build up the freshmen spiritually, help form them into a community family and just be there to care when needed.

Each senior is then assigned a small group of freshmen to mentor through the semester. Before classes start in the fall, the mentors are present at book night and freshman orientation to help guide our new students through the building and deal with adjustments to a new environment. At the end of the first week of school, we whisk our mentors and freshmen off to a retreat, kicking off a year of spiritual, community and care formation. A mid-year mini-retreat offers another opportunity for our Senior Mentors to guide our freshmen in growth. This is also combined with organized monthly meetings which bring the Senior Mentors and freshmen together for Bible study, community building activities, and prayer.

Our Senior Mentors are just one more facet here at LHN making us not so much an institution, but a family - the eternal Family of God!

Please start at the EDLINE website under "college info" to get the correct links to these websites. There is a website using ".com" instead of www.fafsa.ed.gov and it is not a valid site. Government websites will not be charging you to fill out a form. SAT and ACT websites are companies that will charge you to take tests because they are providing you with a service. Colleges and Universities will be charging you an admissions fee to apply to their schools. This is not refundable if you are not accepted. If you have any college admissions questions please email Mrs. Mary Heath at maryheath@lea-hou.org.

ACTIVITIES for a good resume include volunteering, camps or a job. Make good use of your summer. Don't forget summer reading. For students looking for NTA's (non-teenager activities) this summer go to http://www.lcms.org/ca/dcs/SERVevents/locat eSEs.asp
