Link Crew is a program in high school where chosen upper-classmen help freshmen throughout the year by getting them to participate in school activities and help with academic classes. These students also help to bridge the gap between freshmen and the rest of the school when the younger students may feel like they don't belong. This program at Pine Ridge High School is ran by Mrs.Bedard

[edit] Arch Rivals

The Pine Ridge Panthers arch rivals are the Wolves' from Deltona High School. As they're both located on the same street (Howland Boulevard) once a year, there is a football game between the two known as "The Battle of the Boulevard." The winners generally salvage self pride, and the right to call the Boulevard Panther territory if Pine Ridge wins and Wolves territory if Deltona wins.The 07-08 year, Deltona won with a score of 55 to 7.
