Our school is committed to your child’s complete wellness and life-long health; therefore, throughout the year, we will be utilizing the evidence-based P.A.T.H. curriculum. Prevention and Awareness for Total Health (P.A.T.H.) is a school-wide approach to address mandated topics, promote positive coping, and strengthen character building. The purpose of this comprehensive curriculum is to concentrate on critical prevention areas and expand into additional life skills and character traits. The program contents provide three grade-specific lessons for each of the four domains: bullying, substance abuse, types of abuse, and self-harm/suicide; plus, three multi-grade level lessons for violence prevention.

Each developmental phase for middle and high school students brings its own unique set of challenges and opportunities. We strive to equip our students with personal tools which will help them combat those challenges, protect physical health and safety, foster kindness, enhance relationships, promote mental wellness, maintain perspective, employ positive coping skills, and build resiliency. We want our students to do more than survive – we want them to thrive!

We believe that schools and families must work together for the betterment of the whole child, and our communication with you is a key factor in the success of that mission. We are excited to share this information with you as we use P.A.T.H. to empower students to make choices that will protect their safety, enhance connectedness, and encourage life-long physical and mental health. We consider this process an ongoing partnership and recommend the links below to provide additional support for raising children amid a changing and challenging world.
