    Mission Statement/Information

    "The goal of Heroes & Cool Kids is to promote pro-social behavior in students and to create a caring and disciplined school climate" This program utilizes the services of current and former professional athletes whose personal life experiences enable them to train high school student leaders. The athletes train high school students to mentor middle school students on important life skills, including sportsmanship, conflict resolution and positive lifestyle choices, highlighting bullying, alcohol, tobacco and other drug use prevention messaging. Student leaders attend three off-campus full-day conferences spread out over a six-month period. In small teams, they then go into the fifth grade classrooms and facilitate lessons. 

    Basic Standards:

    • Solid grade point average/good academic standing
    • Participation in at least one team sport or extra-curricular activity
    • Excellent school attendance
    • This is a 3-year program. New applicants are to be Sophomores and Juniors only (returning Seniors that were in the program Junior year remain).
    • Strong character
    • Good disciplinary record

    • Drug, alcohol & tobacco free
