• Peer Assistance Leadership (PALs)

      PAL (Peer Assistance and Leadership) is an award winning program providing effective training in "resiliency" strategies.  The PAL peer helping program combats risky behaviors among youth. Skills taught include, but are not limited to: group dynamics, self esteem, social skills, self-awareness, communication skills, decision-making and problem-solving, drug education and cultural awareness.

      The PAL program provides guidance and mentoring for peers and younger children on issues such as self-esteem, drug awareness and social skills.  PAL's enrich their schools and community through service learning projects and extended volunteer activities. 

      The PAL program is an approved Texas Education Agency course for 8th grade students at the middle school level and for 11th and 12th grade students at the high school level.
