π Su***de Prevention Matters: QPR Training for Our Cheerleaders
This week, our high school cheerleaders participated in QPR Su***de Prevention Training, a vital step in supporting one another and strengthening our community.
We were moved to take action after the heartbreaking loss of a local student-athlete whose life touched so many. While nothing can erase the pain of this loss, we can honor their memory by giving our students the knowledge and tools to recognize when someone may be struggling and how to get them the help they need.
QPR, which stands for Question, Persuade, Refer teaches young people how to:
π Recognize warning signs of emotional distress
π Start a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation
π Connect a peer with trusted adults and professional help
Our cheerleaders show spirit, leadership, and heart every day. Now, theyβre also learning how to look out for their teammates and classmates in deeper, life-affirming ways.
If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out.
Help is available 24/7:

Together, we can create a school community where no one feels alone.
