Prevention Program

The goals of our Prevention Program are to reduce violence and the use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco through education and prevention activities. 


Response to Intervention (RTI) Model 
(Arizona Department of Education Link)
The bulk of our program is built upon several research-based programs that are delivered to students in the context of classroom lessons and school-wide programs (primary interventions).  Other components of our program are directed at students that need additional help (secondary and tertiary interventions).
