A student at James Logan High School slit attempted her wrists using a box cutter in the middle of the cafeteria during lunch. CSTs tried their best to grab the weapon out of her hands and get her to help immediately at our Health Center. The student is currently doing fine and will be supported by many programs from our school when she returns.
James Logan principal, Amy McNamara, was interviewed prior to this article and gave feedback on the issue. With the concern of the amount of students attending our school that also participated in the AP program, have shown an increase with the amount of children diagnosed with significant depression and stress issues. The challenge to be able to attend the top colleges for the best education which are only accepting a few, can also be an example of stressful variables for high school students.
