I’m excited to share that students from Mr. Gerren’s class and the MLK Wellness Peer Educators Club participated in the Youth Creating Change Film Contest, focused on mental health and su***de prevention.

In the Mental Health Matters category, MLK stood out, all three selected county videos were from our students. Congratulations to Jocelyn Harris, Erin Park, and Vivian Dasson, whose film “Learning to Breathe Again” earned 1st Place! 🎉 MLK students also received several honorable mentions.

Thank you for supporting our Wellness Peer Educators, our students were incredibly proud. Please enjoy the photos and winning video below.

Happy Appreciation week to our fabulous teachers and staff at Martin Luther King High School!! We thank you for everything you do!
