“Rachel’s Challenge is the MOST powerful intervention I have seen in 40 years of working in education.”

- Dr. Robert Marzano IMPORTANT UPDATE: Rachel’s Challenge will be at Lancaster Catholic High School on Wednesday, February 20th for an in-school assembly as well as for an evening assembly that all parents are invited to. The evening assembly will take place in the LCHS Library at 6 PM and child care will be provided.

Rachel’s Challenge exists to equip and inspire individuals to replace acts of violence, bullying, and negativity with acts of respect, kindness, and compassion.

Rachel’s Challenge is based on the life and writings of Rachel Joy Scott who was the first victim of the Columbine school shootings in 1999.

Through her example, Rachel’s Challenge is making a positive impact in the lives of millions of people every year.

Rachel’s inspiring story provides a simple, yet powerful example of how small acts of kindness and acceptance motivate us to consider our relationships with the people we come in contact with every day. Rachel’s story gives us permission to start our own chain reaction of kindness and compassion, which positively affects the climate in our schools and communities.

A few weeks after the tragedy, Darrell Scott, Rachel’s father, spoke to a Congressional House Judiciary Committee regarding issues of school violence. Shortly afterwards, he founded “Rachel’s Challenge”, a bullying and violence abatement program.
