R1 Champs

Richland One “CHAMPS” (Caring Hearts Making Positive Shifts) Program is a district-wide initiative designed to place positive role models on the campuses of schools to provide assistance to staff with empowering, inspiring, and encouraging students to achieve their full potential.

The goals of the program are:

  • To welcome students to school at the beginning of the day while providing them with positive inspiration for the day;
  • To connect, engage, inspire, support, and motivate students to strive to achieve their full potential;
  • To provide a presence in the halls during class change to ensure students are moving and reporting to class on time;
  • To serve as an extra set of eyes in the hallways, on campus grounds and around restrooms to alleviate issues (i.e., smoking, fighting, etc.);
  • To help the school staff during school assemblies, special events, etc.;
  • To assist the school staff at the end of the day during the dismissal of school.

The main goal is to be a positive influence for the students during the school day and to be a helping hand to school staff as they work to provide quality education to students.
