Football

Academic Support for Athletes
Balancing the many academic responsibilities of a high school student with the commitment to an athletic team can be a big challenge. Our athletic department at Cambridge Rindge & Latin School is committed to make sure our athletes get as much academic support as needed so that they can be successful in the classroom and maintain their athletic eligibility throughout the school year.

Our Student-Athlete Mentoring Program works with students, coaches, teachers, tutors, administrators, and families to make sure we are all working together for the holistic development of our student-athletes. There is study hall open to all student-athletes after school in Room 2203 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 2:45-3:30PM each week. Tutors are available at study hall but this time can also be used to coordinate extra help sessions with content teachers who know the curriculum and student needs best.

If you know a student-athlete who may be in need of additional support, please contact Ryan Saulnier for more information.
