Students graduate from gang resistance program

On June 28, 20 students from Carson Valley Middle School graduated from Gang Resistance Education and Training (GREAT) program during a ceremony at Zephyr Cove officiated by Douglas County Sheriff Ron Pierini.

GREAT is a cooperative effort between law enforcement, schools, parents and the community, working together to help children make good life choices. The goal of the program is to prevent youth crime, violence and gang involvement, while developing a positive relationship among our young people to create a safer community.
