What People Say About Us
A.R. Rucker Middle School has had an amazing opportunity to host the Community Powerhouse program for the last two and a half years. Scheduling no more than forty male students each semester in grades seven and eight, this program has reached two hundred young males and is still counting.
The Community Powerhouse has been a great asset to our school and community. The program itself is really preparing young men for the real world and is giving them tools needed to navigate life as a male. There have been numerous examples of students that have turned their behaviors and attitudes towards school and home life, in a positive direction.
I’m a School Counselor at A.R. Rucker Middle School and would like to share how The Community Powerhouse Program has been a wonderful asset to our Middle School. I have witnessed students that were headed down the wrong road, and in a semester, saw the positive impact that the Community Powerhouse had on these students.
I am so impressed with the Community Powerhouse program at Lancaster High School. I have personally seen the difference this program makes with our students. My students that have been through the program have made major improvements.
The Powerhouse program has been an integral part of LHS mission to meet the needs of all our students. Through a creative curriculum, Dr. Pelham and Dr. Wright seek to inspire and challenge young men to look deeper at their lives and choices they make.
The Community Powerhouse is a dynamic, life changing, encouraging, mentorship and brotherhood class taught with tough LOVE and fun.
