Lawrence Middle School continues our partnership with Nassau County Police Department through the G.R.E.A.T program. (Gang Resistance Education and Training) The GREAT Program is an evidence-based, national and international gang and violence prevention program that has been building trust between law enforcement and communities for almost 30 years. The GREAT lessons focus on providing life skills to students to help them avoid delinquent behavior and violence to solve problems.
