Students Get Jump Start at Feehan’s Summer Academy

Bishop Feehan High School recently held its annual two-week long Summer Academic Academy for incoming freshmen. 

Over 100 students chose to participate and enjoyed many opportunities for learning the ropes of a new campus by participating in group activities to enhance social interaction, reviewing math and English curriculum and learning “survival” skills. Those skills included how to take notes, how to use the library, how to stay motivated and how to avoid discipline problems. 

“The Summer Academic Academy has been a great success each year. Whether the kids realize it or not, it gives them the confidence to start the year off on the right foot and helps to eliminate the first-day-of-school jitters,” commented Ann Perry, vice president of Academic Affairs.

Regular classes begin Sept. 4.
