Life Connections

Life Connections is a class that emphasizes three primary goals: to increase school performance, mood management, and ‘drug use control.’ Improving grades and attendance, managing the emotional “ups and downs,” and staying and/or becoming drug-free are challenges often faced by teens in high school. Students spend time in small group activities with 10 or 11 other students and a specially trained staff member.  Students learn about enhancing self-esteem, decision making, personal control, and interpersonal communication. This class is designed for students to develop new and supportive relationships and to experience personal successes.
