Compton High Schools A Surprising
Forerunner In The Race To Curb School
Violence
Compton, CA
Recent headlines have publicized escalating violence on high school
campuses.  This has caused campuses from Santa Monica to San
Bernardino, inner city to the suburbs to shut down.  Noticeably absent
from the list are the high schools in Compton

The headlines tell the story
Students are in conflict
Kids First can help
Research shows students need to be in safe and nurturing
environments to learn.  It is difficult for students to focus on
the task of learning when they don’t feel safe or nurtured.  
Some of the manifestations of unsafe and non-nurturing
environments include: apathy, poor attendance, verbal and
physical altercations, and poor academic performance.

Kids First has developed an integrated personalized
comprehensive conflict resolution program that teaches
students to resolve differences peacefully.  Kids First
teaches effective communication skills; character building
skills; diversity, tolerance and acceptance skills.  Students
are encouraged to see other points of view and to live
peacefully in a multicultural environment.

As you are planning your school year, consider a proactive
stance: educate your students, parents, faculty, staff, and
community.  Kids First can help.  We personalize the program
to fit your needs.
