The Business Alliance maintains its focus on mentoring the students of Holly Springs. Students from Holly Ride and Holly Grove Middle Schools travel to the Holly Springs High School monthly to begin their high school experience. 8th grade students are paired with high school students who serve as their mentors. Participants discuss goals, careers, and transition to high school.

Students from the high school are also partnering with adult mentors from the community. Activities include lunch, career discussions, etc.
