Peer Educator Certification
Thirty-nine NDCL seniors recently completed their certification as peer educators by the National Association of Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education (NASPA).
NASPA’s college-level Certified Peer Educator (CPE) Program provides students with foundational-level skills to empower them as stronger leaders, better role models, more effective advocates and more productive team members.
Ordinarily, NASPA only works with college students, but two years ago NDCL health aide and wellness coordinator Pete DeMichele persuaded the organization to include NDCL’s students in the nationally recognized program. NDCL remains the only high school in Ohio to offer CPE certification.
Members of the junior class will have the opportunity to complete CPE training with a representative of NASPA’s national office in Colorado on April 29-30.
To date, 241 NDCL students have earned CPE certification, which is recognized by hundreds of colleges and universities nationwide.
Congratulations to the newly commissioned certified peer educators:
Hayden Bell, Kathryn Bumpus, John Coulson, Noah Coyne, Casey Curran, Elizabeth Dailey, Zachary DeRespiris, Rachel DeWerth, Daniel Duffy, Elaina Dynes, Evan Fonash, Nicholas Guarniere, Faye Hoey, Nicholas Johnson, Audrey Joyce, Erica Leinweber, Grace Liberatore, Ian Mascia, Kelly McGraw, Mary McGuigan, Veronica Mekhel, Mario Misiti, Deirdre O’Connell, Madison Rogers, Benjamin Roman, Joshua Seibert, Alexander Semerano, Jacob Severino, Asha Singh, David Skovira, Devon Skufca, Evan Smith, Patrick Stergar, Melissa Sterkel, Cody Svoboda, Kylan Teeples, Sebastian Tovar, Adam Zakrajsek and Katelyn Zitnik.
