We embrace Rachels Challenge

Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America.
At Parkside High School in Salisbury MD we are planning a campuswide campaign within our school.
