Stagg hosts Charger University for teens

Charger University is a monthly series dedicated to social-emotional learning. Each month a guest speaker(s) inform, educate, and provide an interactive forum for students to learn about significant topics facing teens in our area. These topics include health concerns, mental health issues, current social issues, community/school issues, and topics related to social media.

Charger University is in session throughout the school year, with one speaking agenda per month. Charger University connects directly to the District 230 Successful Schools Successful Students Touchstone by engaging students in their own social-emotional learning in an ever changing society, where they all face very unique challenges and needs.

Charger University students develop relationships with community members and have access to services enhanced. Charger University provides students with educational information in a way that they are not always exposed to. Access to experts in these fields is not typically offered within the regular school day in such an intimate setting, which makes this unique.
