We are proud to share that Quitman Elementary School and Quitman High School have been recognized by Erika’s Lighthouse as a Peggy Kubert Model School for Excellence in School Mental Health.
This national recognition honors schools that are creating supportive, inclusive environments and prioritizing student mental health through schoolwide education, awareness, and prevention efforts.
We believe that supporting students’ emotional well-being is an essential part of helping them learn, grow, and thrive. Together with our teachers, counselors, social workers, and staff, we are committed to fostering a school community where students feel safe, connected, and supported.
