🎓 As graduation season arrives, Communities In Schools of Michigan is celebrating the hard work, resilience, and determination of seniors across our district. This year, during our first partnership with Pennfield Schools, we had the privilege of supporting students like Brian. When Brian transferred to Pennfield High School as a junior, he faced significant challenges: no high school credits, a new city, and needing a fresh start. From day one, Brian was determined to become a first generation high school graduate.

Through unwavering commitment—balancing in-person and virtual classes, recovering credits, and keeping his eye on the future—Brian not only caught up but inspired those around him. He encouraged classmates, supported friends, and cultivated teamwork. In just two years, he completed four years’ worth of coursework. Now, Brian is preparing to walk across the stage this May, looking ahead to college and a future in photography.

Brian’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience, hope, and the impact of student-centered support. We’re so proud of Brian and all the graduating seniors who show us what’s possible when students have a community behind them.
The future is bright!

Pride Month is a celebration of authenticity, courage, and community.

At Communities In Schools, we believe every student deserves to feel seen, valued, respected, and supported for who they are. When young people have safe spaces, trusted relationships, and a sense of belonging, they are better positioned to thrive in school and in life.

As we recognize Pride Month, we celebrate the contributions, resilience, and diversity of LGBTQ+ individuals and communities across the country.

Happy Pride Month. 🌈

At Detroit Premier Academy, Student Support Coordinator Paige Walker is making mental health a priority for our girls! Creating a safe space for open conversations, Paige uses the book Brave to talk about coping strategies and building confidence, sparking real conversations about emotional wellness.

Paige has witnessed amazing growth, students are not only learning to manage their mental health, but are also creating a supportive space for one another.

We’re so proud of Paige and our DPA girls for breaking the stigma, supporting one another, and showing that mental health matters.

🍦 May is Mental Health Awareness Month!🍦

This month, Communities In Schools of Michigan is proud to spotlight the incredible work of our clinical team (Rachel von Pagels and Nyekah Guest) who led three impactful workshops in collaboration with our Student Support Coordinators at Pennfield High School, Dunlap Elementary, and North Pennfield Elementary in Pennfield Schools.

Over 29 students participated in interactive sessions focused on understanding emotions and building self-esteem. Students enjoyed ice cream sundaes while talking about self-worth and mental health.

We were inspired by the thoughtful responses, active participation, and the supportive, respectful environment they created together.

This is what Mental Health Awareness Month is all about: breaking the stigma, having real conversations, and supporting one another. Thank you to our amazing team and students for making these workshops a success!
