Crucial Conversations Series

We live in a complex and ever changing world where it’s important to engage in conversations that help us achieve our core values of truth, unity, and love. Crucial Conversations are designed to equip parents and guardians with the education and tools they need to continue speaking with their sons outside of the classroom. This series is hosted by the Counseling Department and the Inclusivity and Belonging Office.
