Program Details

As a shadow, 8th-grade boys will be paired with a current Farrell student who will be their host for the day.  Shadow students will attend classes, meet current students and teachers, and enjoy a complimentary lunch at Denino's at the Den in our cafeteria. 

All students who book a shadowing appointment must arrive in the Main Office at 9:00 am sharp on that day in business casual attire or their school uniform.  No jeans or earrings. 

If you know a current Farrell freshman or sophomore, you can request that they be your host for the day; however, these pairings are not guaranteed.

All students who attend a shadow day will receive a letter excusing them from school for the day.
