The East Porter Natural Helpers is a nationally recognized peer-to-peer support program. The Natural Helpers Program trains students—identified by their peers and staff as trusted, compassionate leaders—to support classmates facing challenges with friendships, family, academics, or emotional well-being. Natural Helpers are not counselors, but they are equipped with skills to listen, encourage, and connect their peers to appropriate resources. By doing so, they help reduce isolation, promote resilience, and strengthen our school community.
Program Overview:
Student Selection: Each high school will select eight students, identified by peers and staff, to attend an overnight retreat as new participants.
Horizon Crew: Returning students will be invited to serve as “Horizon Crew” leaders. Four students from each high school trained in the fall of 2025 as the first Horizon Crew, helping to guide activities and mentor future participants.
Retreat & Activities: This overnight retreat introduce students to the Natural Helpers framework through interactive workshops on communication, trust, affirmation, self-care, and time management. These skills will help them serve as supportive leaders within their schools.
Ongoing Impact: Following the retreat, Natural Helpers will serve as peer mentors at the high school level and support middle school students through monthly activities promoting empathy, leadership, and inclusivity.

This is an excellent opportunity for parents and caregivers to learn about Transitioning Into High School & Graduation Pathways.

Episode 13 of Inside East Porter is officially live!

Building more than just a lesson plan... 🤝✨
This week, we stop by the classroom of one of our newest faces at Morgan Township Middle High School, Mr. McClintock.

Mr. McClintock has created a unique space where collaboration and cohesion take center stage. It’s a classroom often filled with vibrant conversation and a focus on "team concept" building, helping students learn how to work together toward a common goal.
