Clydehurst hires 4 High School Staff Leaders each year: 2 male and 2 female. These leaders work together to oversee 18 high school staff members called the Crew. Typically, the 2 female Staff Leaders work over/with the 9-10 high school girls, and the 2 male Staff Leaders over/with the 9-10 high school boys though there is significant crossover in job responsibilities for both the male and female High School Staff Leaders as well as for the Crew themselves.
