R.E.A.C.H. R.E.A.C.H. is an acronym for Ready Ears And Caring Help and is the peer counseling group at Centennial. In the past five years of R.E.A.C.H., counselors have talked with their peers and helped them to help themselves with any problems they may have. The success of R.E.A.C.H. is based on R.E.A.C.H.’s stress of confidentiality for all clients. Peer counselors are chosen every spring by an interview process. They then meet for a retreat weekend to learn about how to assist in solving other’s problems. Every Centennial student can be assured that some- one who will listen and help will always be available. Bottom Row L-R: William Carter. Steve Wachala, Lucy Keck. Tim Thomure. 1st Row: Becky Smith.
