Throughout the years Liberty High School has confused many students with nowhere to turn to. To help students with this problem and to avoid confusion, Link Crew was created. Their goal is to help anyone new to the school feel well-prepared.

Whether Link Crew members are walking people through their schedules or showing students the lunchroom, the team of students makes sure every student understands the way LHS works.

“We wanted a freshman transition program,” Assistant Principal Penny Holmes said. “We thought of Link Crew and knew it was the right choice.”

With the freshmen and the sophomores coming to LHS, and the addition of Liberty Hour, this year was the perfect year to launch Link Crew. Students now have a place to go to for questions and concerns. With the large number of Link Crew members, each student got a more hands-on approach.

According to Link Crew members there are about 100 students in the program so  anyone new to the school will have many places to go to for help.

“It (Link Crew) looks good on college resumes for experience in leadership skills,” Holmes said.

If a student joins Link Crew and has a successful experience, that experience will carry out beyond High School. Link Crew is a good way to teach students leadership skills.

“There is an application program in January and if a teacher recommends you that can help you get in,” Holmes said.

“Its (Link Crew) good, it’s really fun. I think everyone in it looks forward to participating in it. It’s been really helpful,” Odom said. “I got to know new people and that’s what its really all about is meeting new people and helping each other out.”

Odom is not the only Link Crew member that thinks positive of Link Crew.

“(My experience was) awesome so far I got to meet a lot of new people and faces!” Senior Jacob Zimmerman said.

Link Crew has been a good experience for many students already and has succeeded in helping students meet new people and interact more around school.

“When we plan events, we call for a meeting. Mrs. Holmes will call us or email us. Mrs. Holmes already has the events planned and we just have to go through training before the events.” Odom said. “ In the summer we just had training and practiced what we would say to the freshmen and sophomores.”

Link Crew may not have helped everyone, but Link Crew has a visible impact on LHS and many students know their way around the school already.

 “They showed me where everything is, like where the bathrooms are, and where my classes are,” Freshman Caleb Robb said.

Link Crew only launched this year and so far many students think positive, even Link Crew members.

“I think it’s really helpful and really fun.” Odom said. “It’s a really good way to get involved and I could not see why you wouldn’t want Link Crew.”
