Why to get involved blurb
The Ultreia Society is a program that supports leadership elective courses where upperclassman can apply to take for course credit. Ultreia is latin for always further, always higher. Society members guide the freshmen class further and lift them higher by providing individualized support, whether it’s overcoming language barriers , or navigating challenges in and out of school.
Ultreia is latin meaning “always further, always higher” – it is our hope for our students that they will move “further and higher” striving for success.
