Andrew High School has increased its efforts around the concept of Restorative Practices and Restorative Justice. These ongoing efforts enhance the already established philosophy and practice that directly involves students in the building of community within the classroom, clubs, sports, and other arenas, by taking deliberate steps to give all students a voice. The continued work and professional development of restorative practices intends to promote inclusiveness, relationship-building, and problem-solving while maintaining dignity and respect.
