PEER TEACHING began in 1985 and has steadily changed and grown since. The consistent message of this program is the importance of good character and its impact on one’s choices to lead a healthy life. High school leaders define and demonstrate this concept during lessons presented to our 7th graders. 

Peer Teachers receive training where they participate in activities that help them look introspectively at themselves and discover the responsibilities that come with being a PATH leader, mentor, and role model. 

The peer Teaching program serves two purposes. It serves as an alcohol prevention program and develops and strengthens the character of our 7th graders. The lessons cover a variety of topics, including self-worth, resiliency, perseverance, integrity, and responsibility. 

Through fact-filled, hands-on activities, Peer Teachers help 7th graders realize the harmful effects of alcohol and empower them to make good choices.
