If you have a son or daughter in grades 6-8, and would like them to attend the leadership retreat, please fill in the requested information in the form below in order to register.

Activities in past retreats include small group break out/family group sessions, photo scavenger hunt, human foosball, and many more activities to help facilitate bonding, communication and leadership. All of the activities focus on healthy behaviors, choices, and decision making.
EXPECT RESPECT SUPPORT GROUP PRESENTATIONS
Mrs. Cornish will be going around to all high school English classes during the week of January 25th to give students the opportunity to fill out the Expect Respect Support Group Survey. Support groups cover information relating to healthy relationships, communication, and self-esteem using an evidence-based curriculum. The support group will begin in February. The group is open to all students. However, males and females will meet in separate groups during a lunch or study hall period
