A group of Napoleon High School students attended/organized the 1st ANNUAL Jackson County High School "STEP UP" CONFERENCE. The "Next Step" Conference was developed to raise awareness about addiction, educate peers, and reduce stigma. A goal was to organize a student-led committee who found speakers to help foster understanding, share personal stories, promote resources for prevention and recovery, and provide information about how addiction can affect individuals, families, and communities. The students who attended the conference will be coming back to the local districts and educating other students and staff about what they learned. We want to thank our sponsors for making this event possible!
