“Students at Westlake High School have benefited from a long standing partnership with the Westshore Young Leaders Network.  Young Leaders provided opportunities for leadership training, peer prevention and social events.  The annual lock ins and SADD Days at the Q gave our students the chance to reach out to schools from other districts and to share evidence-based alcohol and other drug prevention classroom activities. The resources that the Young Leaders provide have been essential to the growth and development of our students who seek out opportunities for leadership.  These skills will serve our kids well into their adult lives. ”  Ms. McGinty, Westlake High School
