REBS
REBS (​R​ebel ​E​ducators ​B​uilding Relationships with ​S​tudents) is an
advisor/advisee program that is designed to enable students to gain knowledge needed to make informed academic and career prep decisions. It encourages positive relationships between a small group of students and a caring adult. The program also serves to provide opportunities for ongoing assessments of student strengths, weaknesses, career and academic objectives, as well as promote short and long term goal setting. Every student at Byrnes is assigned to a REBS group that they will grow with during all three years of high school.
