Our goal is to open the Carolina’s’ first recovery high school. Our mission is to serve high school students in recovery from substance use disorders. The school’s focus is on educating students through faith, fitness, and fellowship. We are community service driven and provide peer to peer support on a daily basis. We value after-school and weekend family activities in order to build a culture centered around honesty and trust. We will be in regular contact with the prevention and recovery community and local Collegiate Recovery Programs to provide support for all students.

This school will incorporate project and movement-based learning as well as incorporating culinary arts classes, music and the arts, trade classes, . Creative thinking is important to us, and preparing students for any future goals that they have is at the core.

We were fortunate enough to learn from the top Recovery High School's in the country and the peer support model is absolutely life changing and there is not a doubt in our minds that this will bring our community together on so many other social issues.  

When we overcome our toughest challenges in life, and we turn our fear into faith, and pain into strength, that is when the most amazing things happen.   Any donation, large or small will support our efforts to open the doors in 2019!  

The North Carolina Recovery HS movement is growing at an amazing rate.  We started with 5 of us and now we have 75 committee members, a strong Board of Directors, and thousands of supports.
