Peer Health Education

In addition to coursework, students receive peer education. The purpose of peer health education is to create a stronger community within RPCS and beyond, and help students deal with the challenges they face by giving them an opportunity to talk to and learn from their classmates. Throughout ninth grade, students have peer health classes on friendships, social media wellness, alcohol and drugs, relationships, and sexual education. In 10th through 12th grades, students may sign up to be peer health leaders and are trained by the counseling department at the annual peer health retreat.
