The school administration decides if freshman, sophomores, juniors or seniors will take the Stopping the Abuse before It Ever Starts class. School admin decides based on class scheduling, class curriculum, and the maturity of the students. Then each year we will return to that same grade level to be sure all students have gone through the program before graduating.
