Ghosted






The 9th, 10th, and 12th-grade classes completed the 2-day Kaiser Permanente Ghosted program during their College Readiness classes. The 11th graders will have an opportunity to go through the program December 6-9. Students learned ways to receive support if they or a friend is in crisis or just need to talk to somebody.
