Buzz on new

Braves The Class of 2023 enjoys their first football game.

So, what’s all that buzz about? Over the last few months, you might have heard an excited buzz about Justin-Siena. Those of us who know the community of people aren’t surprised by this at all because we know we have exceptional people. Even more so as an ALLHEART school, our goal is to impact lives, and we want to impact as many lives as possible. The Admissions team at Justin-Siena has ALLHEART love for JustinSiena and it is reflective in our welcoming and inclusive community. We look to bring prospective families to our campus from the three counties which we serve. Over the last few months the Admissions team has been hard at work creating different events to bring future Braves to our campus. Partner School Visits: The Admissions team has increased its outreach to the areas and schools we draw from, with a team of over 140 Student Ambassadors. They have an amazing way of telling their own stories of Justin-Siena and sharing our school’s mission. Summer Programs: Starting with the summer, we increased our offerings in our summer camps and programs which drew over 270 kids to our campus. These camps are led by our coaches, students, faculty, and staff. They included basketball, leadership, theater, volleyball, softball, tennis, and robotics. Brave For A Day: Our signature shadowing program, “Brave For A Day,” is full of energy and excitement, and along with the help of our faculty and staff, and the leadership of our ambassadors, inspires these young people and their families when visiting our campus. So far we have welcomed over 250 young people to tour our campus to experience

Campus outreach: In addition, we have welcomed students to our campus for our first annual Justin-Siena Wellness Fair, which provided an opportunity for young people and their families to learn about the many resources available to them within our community in regards to health and wellness.

We introduced the Next Level Sports Program to our campus for both basketball and flag football.
