Mes Amies
Power in sisterhood
Duchesne Academy's Mes Amies program fosters sisterhood across grade levels, leadership skills, and personal growth through a support network rooted in the Sacred Heart mission.
How it works:
1. Personalized connections: Mes Amies utilizes a questionnaire to pair freshmen with upperclassmen based on similar interests.
2. Small group or one-on-one: Students have an opportunity to make deep friendships with their mentor.
3. Purposeful activities: Mes Amies engage in activities rooted in the Five Sacred Heart Goals & Criteria.
4. Leadership Opportunities: This is a chance for upperclassmen to develop their leadership skills, and for incoming freshmen to learn how to connect with someone new.
