REACH is a program for 8th graders to help with applications to high school, with the transition to life in high school, as well as to build stronger relationships.

REACH mentors volunteer their time to work with each of you.  These volunteers were all graduates of Holy Redeemer School like you will be.  They are now in successful jobs or professions or attending college.

REACH stands for:
Respect for one another
Strive for Excellence in all that you do
Accept people for who they are
Show Compassion to others
Be Honest in all that you do

All sessions are on Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.  They are held monthly as needed until the spring.  The last session is usually a surprise outing to enjoy.

The first session is September 30, 2023 where the mentors will provide guidelines and assistance in the application to high schools.  This session will prepare you for the next session where the mentors will bring you to the Philadelphia High School Fair to visit the schools of your choice in a single location of the Pennsylvania Convention Center at 12th & Arch Streets.

Second session is October 14th - Visit High Schools at the Philadelphia High School Fair

The program is free of charge.

Delicious food is provided after each session.

You must register to partipate in the REACH program.  Forms were handed out September 15 and must be returned with parent/guardian signature before attending the first session.
