Congratulations to Our 2016-17 EPIC Schools!
EPIC recently awarded four local schools with the EPIC School designation! The project was started by the EPIC Advocacy Committee in 2014. The EPIC School designation is a way to recognize area schools for their efforts in building a healthy and safe school community. In order for a school to receive this distinction, the following criteria needs to be met:
- Written policies and procedures related to alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use
- Age appropriate prevention programming on campus
- Empowering students to lead and participate in activities beneficial to the school and/or community
- Teachers and staff professional development training opportunities related to substance abuse prevention
Congratulations to:
- Jackson Middle
- Nell Holcomb R-IV
- Notre Dame Regional High School
- St. Mary Cathedral School
