G.R.E.A.T. (Gang
Resistance Education And Training) is six week, evidence-based and effective gang and violence
prevention program built around school-based, law enforcement
officer-instructed classroom curriculum. The program is intended as an
immunization against delinquency, youth violence, and gang membership for
children in the years immediately before the prime ages for introduction into
gangs and delinquent behavior. It also walks the students through processes
like decision making, conflict resolution, anger management, and the
consequences of gangs and violence. It also builds their relationship and trust
with law enforcement personnel.
Sheriff
Carter was the guest speaker as Principal Lisa Duffey recognized all graduates.
