Teen PEP is many individuals’ favorite part of the day, especially one of the teachers, Mr. Galan.

Mr. Galan finds Teen PEP a great new way to “connect with a greater number of students and help educate the students about making better decisions that’ll benefit their health for the rest of their lives.”

This class isn’t only a teacher favorite, fellow teen Pepper, Justin Cancel, 17, enjoys the class himself. “I like the fact that we can educate others while still making our workshops fun.”

Justin also finds that this class has opened up his eyes to things he would have never thought about knowing.

Teen PEP makes huge impacts on students and teachers everyday lives, it prepares many young people for some tough obstacles life throws at them.

“Teen PEP inspires me and makes me look forward to coming to school” stated Mr. Galan.

The Teen Peppers are like a big family, with lots of support and a great goal for younger students.
