At MVHS, students are so focused on succeeding academically that they often feel an overwhelming amount of stress. After attending a happiness conference, social studies teacher Scott Victorine has begun a positive psychology movement at MVHS to improve students’ well being. Victorine has implemented a variety of activities to make students happier and has encouraged other staff members to do the same. Watch the video below to see Victorine’s efforts to make MVHS a more relaxing environment.
