Community Resources
School Resource Officer:
The School Resource Officer (SRO) is a sworn law enforcement officer whose
primary role is to ensure a safe and secure learning environment for students
and staff. Beyond their law enforcement duties, the SRO acts as a resource for school
staff and fosters positive, trusting relationships with students to help them
reach their full potential.
By having an SRO in our schools, we provide a
valuable liaison between the school and the police department. This partnership
helps achieve our goals of educating, mentoring, and protecting the students we
serve every day.

Law Enforcement against Drugs and Violence
Our
School resource Officers teach The Too Good curricula.
This
curriculm is designed to develop self-efficacy and interpersonal skills through
fun and interactive lessons that build the self confidence and commitment to
health that children and adolescents need to make responsible choices and
achieve success.
Too Good for Drugs and Too Good for Violence take a
comprehensive and immersive approach to skills development to promote positive,
pro-social attitudes and behaviors while fostering healthy relationships and
resistance to substance abuse, conflict, and negative peer pressure and
influence.
