About the Project

Varsity Talks reaches out to all multi-level organizations – athletes, cheerleaders, band, choir, JROTC and dance who represent our school in our community and are viewed as leaders on campus. The program is designed to promote effective leadership and develop exceptional character on campus. The mission is to promote involvement in school activities, unity amongst the student body, and increase school spirit. The main focus is to build a positive climate by creating an interdependent collaborative environment where leaders from different organizations on campus come together to plan activities for the whole school. We will train leaders within each program to provide them with the capacity to handle decision making and conflict resolution within their programs. Students will identify and lead school and community oriented events to establish positive school norms that build collective values. Students will establish, maintain, and honor a centralized strength-based culture that will infiltrate the school-wide community.
