Peer Leadership Training ~ Sam Amon

Every year at least 9 Tenth and Eleventh grade Peer Leaders are selected to train every winter at LCCTC to become train Peer Leadership members. On Monday, January 11th, 2016, 8 students were selected by Mr. Blank and the Peer Leadership council based on their quality to be great role models to their fellow peers and their potential to be great leaders.,

Current Peer Leader members Kayla Baker (Cosmo) and Makaila Holsinger (HA) over saw the training. The selected 8 students were Matthew Hawkins, Camryn Moses, Nathaniel Bartley, Rebekah Shoaf, Krista Berkley, Sarah Bollinger, and Trystan Gravatt.


Peer leadership was founded in 1995 by Dan Barnes, Director of Lawrence County Human Services Center's "Students Assistance Program" and Mike Egbert of Lawrence County's "Drug and Alcohol Community Treatment Services.” Since the very beginning, Peer Leadership members have given their time to volunteer and raise money for causes close to their heart.  They also serve as the “go-to” group to assist with guests and dignitaries and conducting recruiting tours.
