Cultivating a strong heart and mind in the midst of pressure is an important endeavor for high school students, because it is a time in life when the body and mind change rapidly, and outside pressures start to mount. From academics to extracurriculars, family, faith and friends, young adults have a lot to deal with, and we are committed to doing all we can to promote mental health and wellbeing among our student body.

God calls us to defend the weak and those who can't speak for themselves because every life matters to him.” -Daniel Vanderhyde, Lions for Life Advisor
