On October 27, Kearny High School welcomed Stephen Hill, founder of @speaksobriety, who shared his personal journey of addiction and recovery with 11th- and 12th-grade students.
Through his First Choice, Second Chance presentation and student Q&A, Stephen emphasized the importance of making informed choices, prioritizing mental health, and recognizing that recovery and second chances are possible.
Special thanks to @tiggerstavolafoundation for sponsoring this meaningful assembly and to Stephen Hill for sharing his story and inspiring our students!
