Ada Ruth Huntley
Former FOCUS President
"I am incredibly thankful to have participated in the FOCUS program throughout high school. I learned so much about myself and the world around me, and it taught me how to address difficult topics introspectively and with others. It truly helped shape me into the leader than I am today."
Amy McCreless
FOCUS Staff
"Many students who have often hidden their pain behind smiles or kept quietly to themselves have come forward to share that they finally felt like they were being heard and understood. FOCUS provides a niche like no other as students form bonds once they realize that they truly have common ground during their challenging teen years."
