School Belonging in High School
Belonging grows when students feel known, respected, supported and connected to people and purpose. In high school, those relationships can influence whether students ask for help, participate and continue showing up.
THE PROBLEM
High-school support breaks down when the student story is fragmented.
Belonging is difficult to create through isolated events alone. Students need repeated experiences of connection, responsiveness, meaningful recognition and progress.
