Crew at MHHS

At MHHS, Crew is more than a daily routine—it’s the cornerstone of our school culture. Crew ensures that every student is known, supported, and challenged to grow both academically and personally. It’s how we bring our school’s core values—the 5Cs—to life:

The 5Cs at the Heart of Crew:

  • Culture of Belonging: Every student is part of a small, consistent group where they are seen, heard, and valued.
  • Collaboration: Students work together to reflect, problem-solve, and support one another.
  • Culturally Responsive: Lessons reflect students’ identities and lived experiences.
  • Student-Centered: Crew is built around students’ voices, needs, and goals.
  • College & Career Readiness: Students build the skills and mindsets needed for success after high school.

Why Crew?

We believe that academic success is deeply connected to emotional well-being, identity development, and future planning. Crew provides a structured, supportive space where students:

  • Build strong relationships with peers and a trusted adult
  • Engage in meaningful conversations about identity, community, and current events
  • Develop social-emotional skills and self-awareness
  • Explore college and career pathways
  • Practice teamwork and communication

What Makes Our Crew Program Unique?

A Thoughtfully Designed Curriculum
 
Each Crew session is guided by a daily lesson plan, ensuring consistency and quality across classrooms. Our curriculum is developed by a team of educators and enhanced through partnerships with organizations like Outward Bound and One Goal. Lessons are aligned to the mission and vision of Mott Hall High School and tailored to each grade level.
 
Grade-Level Focus
 
Our curriculum evolves with students:
  • 9th & 10th Grade: Focus on identity, community, and our Future Ready cybersecurity program
  • 11th Grade: Crew leaders use the One Goal curriculum to build college-going mindsets
  • 12th Grade: Emphasis on postsecondary planning, application support, and transition readiness

 

Crew: The Cornerstone of MHHS

Crew is not just a program—it’s a promise. A promise that every student will be seen, supported, and prepared for life beyond high school. It’s where students grow together, guided by the values of the 5Cs, every single day.
