Pass / Peer Mediation

Peer Mediation is a process that assists students to resolve conflicts and disputes with the assistance of a trained student mediator. Peer Mediation is a voluntary activity. When mediation is requested student mediators guide disputing students through a non-judgmental conflict resolution process with the goal of resolving the conflict constructively.

Peer Mediation is not a process to determine guilt or innocence. It is not a disciplinary procedure, but instead assists students in finding an appropriate resolution to a situation before it escalates. Peer mediation may be suggested after disciplinary action to assist in circumventing future problems.

Parents and students who are interested in learning more about peer mediation or accessing peer mediation services should contact Mrs. Hunsberger or Mr.Overberger in the High School Guidance Office.
