Protective Schools: SAAM 2026 School Safety & Respect Challenge

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month — and schools like yours can make a real difference with just one simple action.

 

We're inviting middle schools, high schools, and colleges across Montgomery County to join the 2026 School Safety & Respect Challenge: a low-lift, high-impact opportunity to show your community that safety and respect are school values.

 

No event planning required. No new curriculum. Just one meaningful action — chosen by you — during April.

Choose one action. Make an impact.
