Everywhere you look at Boca Raton High, you'll notice both subtle and bold messages illustrating that mental health is a priority for the entire school community. Messages throughout benches in common areas read "You are enough" and "Be the change." Principal of Boca Raton High, Dr. Susie King, says, "The more students see these messages of positive affirmations, the more they can internalize them and know they are not alone." While standing under a large sign that says "family," Dr. King says, "It's really the culture we have on campus, that we're here for each other, no matter what."
Boca Raton High School also produces "Motivational Monday" videos that are posted online and shared in classrooms. In the videos, teachers share personal experiences of struggle. The goal is to build a culture robust with empathy, compassion, and connection.
