Description
Building safe and inclusive schools requires commitment from community leaders, students and staff. In this Zevely Zone, I visited San Marcos High to meet three students who just completed Camp LEAD.
Following the shooting at Santana High in 2001, county leaders decided San Diego needed a new generation of leaders and they started with students. More than 20 years ago, Camp LEAD started bringing students together in hopes of making schools safer. "My cousins are safe, and I am so thankful for that, but they were traumatized," said Caroline Oberlin who has a personal connection to the Parkland, Florida shooting in 2018. "Three of my cousins were at the high school and the shooter was walking by their classrooms and they were hiding in closets," said Caroline.
