Oak Park High School

Educating Compassionate and Creative Global Citizens

Every Day in America
160,000 students stay home from school because they are afraid of how they might be treated by their peers. Every day, thousands or millions more come to school with a knot in their guts unable to concentrate, learn, or perform at their best because they are afraid they'll be insulted, harassed, assaulted or worse.

Every day...Students Hold the Key
Students see, hear, and know things adults don't... and they can intervene in ways adults
can't. But too often they don't because they fear retaliation and don't know what to
do.

Imagine...
What if a cadre of courageous, committed and skilled students the social leaders of your school's diverse cliques, those most likely to speak up were preventing and stopping exclusion, teasing, bullying and other forms of violence on your campus... right now?

"I may not be an angel but I realize that I have the power to create

a safer school and to save lives and I know how to do it now."
- Safe School Ambassador, Gadsden HS, New Mexico
