Steered Straight Assembly
Wolf Point Public Schools is proud to host the Steered Straight Assembly for our students, staff, and families.
The Steered Straight team will be in Wolf Point High School on April 15, 2024 to offer assemblies on the truth about drugs and vaping to our 3rd - 12th grade students. The assembly will also be offered to our family and community in the evening. Stay tuned for more information!
What is Steered Straight?
"Steered Straight is a 17-year proven program that does not explain drug prevention at school assemblies but TEACHES the reality of drugs and devises a prevention message the students implement themselves within their school system.
Steered Straight has become the number one booked program in America with assemblies focused on drug education prevention. Our program is primarily based on the uniqueness of the messenger, someone who has suffered the consequences of negative decisions. We have found that youth instantly identify with Michael DeLeon, or another of our speakers, as a changed, motivated teacher with a real-life story to tell.
Steered Straight does not simply educate students about the harmful nature of drugs and alcohol but provides the reality and deadly impact it can and will have on their lives. We remove the concern parents’ have on how to help their kids and replace it with active solutions.
We have found that the “just say no” message has not worked, nor will discipline and scare tactics. To actively achieve students wanting to stop using whatever substance, on whatever level and on their own, is the only method. However, it takes an engaging and powerful message. Michael DeLeon and his team delivers that."
