What’s Your Why?

Is St. Louis Ready? Are You Ready?

Let’s Make a Recovery High School Happen by Fall 2026!

The Missouri State Board of Education will decide on December 9 whether to approve a Recovery High School in St. Louis — and we need your help to show them that our city is ready.

Here’s the truth: every hour, every voice, every dollar — the time, talent, and treasure of St. Louisans — have already made this vision possible. Together, we’ve built something powerful:

• A Robust Launch Team: Young people, families, and professionals united behind the future of youth recovery in St. Louis.
• State Support: Two major laws passed and $100 million approved to launch four Recovery High Schools statewide.
• Community Partnerships: Schools, treatment centers, behavioral-health providers, juvenile justice, youth-serving agencies, and city officials all at the table.
• Youth Leadership: A Youth Advisory Board ensuring young people’s voices stay front and center.
• Public Engagement: Monthly meetings, community events, and the first-ever Youth SUD Summit bringing families and leaders together.
• Press & Media: Coverage in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, community papers, and on NBC and Fox News — with a growing social-media movement building awareness and hope.

Now we need your voice.
