LEE Pals

Peer Assistance Leadership and Service (PALS) is a program for middle school and high school students providing effective training in "resiliency" strategies. The PALS peer helping program combats problems such as violence in schools, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, bullying and school dropouts by providing a critical line of defense through PALS mentoring younger peers in their district cluster schools.

To be a part of this program is a privilege, and our students are always very excited about having a PAL.

If your child is selected and you give your child permission to be a part of this program, he or she will meet with their PALS mentor once a week. JK students will be pulled out of instruction for about 30 mins.  Students will be monitored by a Lee High School instructor and a Jackson-Keller staff member. Lee PALS will be creating art and providing social/emotional activities for our JK students.  This time is not meant to be for any kind of counseling, but a time for our students to have another wonderful role model in their lives.

The North East Independent School District PALs program is committed to providing students with trained peer helpers. There are no officers in PALS, as every member is considered to be a leader.The members of the PALS program promote healthy decision-making and strive to be positive role models in the community. PALS are committed to being a positive influence  in their interactions with others. PALS promote tolerance, non-violence, and a drug, alcohol and tobacco-free lifestyle. PALS represent the NEISD community with honesty, integrity, and pride.

Students are selected by their school counselor.
