Through the Mentor and Mentee program at SSMS, students are assigned a staff member who functions as their mentor through the students' middle school career. Students focus on developing life long skills with a focus on the The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens. Students meet with their mentors once a month to learn new skills and habits and review previous ones. They complete grade checks to help students maintain accountability of their grades and complete activities to develop a growth mindset.
