Grade 9

Being a Crosby Scholar is as Easy as...

Academy

Students are required to attend one (1) Academy each school year. Academies are workshops that prepare scholars with skill sets for life after high school. Academies can be attended virtually or in-person, but registration is required in CrosbyConnect.

Community Service

Students who volunteer are more connected with their communities. We require scholars complete two (2) hours of community service* each school year my the deadline. For the school year of 2024-2025 the deadline is April 1st, 2025. For more community service opportunities, take a look at our Student Community Service Opportunities. 

*Crosby Scholars staff reserves the right to determine if an activity fulfills its community service requirement. Follow this link for more information.

Avoiding OSS

Crosby Scholars are expected to be responsible and examples in their schools and communities. Students who receive OSS will be dismissed from the program. If students have been dismissed, they are eligible to rejoin the program, the following school year.
