Flight Crew is a student mentoring program designed to assist freshmen in the transition from middle to high school. Having junior and senior mentors allow freshmen to have someone in the building, aside from adults. Freshman can go to Flight Crew for tutoring, questions, advice, and concerns. Since students often relate to other students, more readily than adults in most cases, this program provides freshmen with extra peer-support from the onset of their high school career.

Knowledge Bowl
Knowledge Bowl involves teams of four to six students trying to answer questions in a written round and several oral rounds. No team is eliminated in this event, and every team participates in every round.
Knowledge Bowl is a power competition in which team groupings are rearranged after each round on the basis of their total points accumulated. The written round is a multiple-choice exam taken by each team as a whole. Results of this round are used for seeding teams in the oral rounds.
Oral rounds involves three teams per room and uses an electronic buzzer system. A reader presents the questions, and a team member may buzz in as soon as he or she chooses. If they miss a question, nothing is deducted, but the other teams then may try to answer the question based on who buzzed in first. The winner is the team with the greatest number of points at the end of the meet.
