title: Enhancing wellness in a high school: a community partnership.
abstract: Meeting the wellness needs of high school students reporting high-risk behaviors above national averages was the purpose of a community partnership between the county school district and West Virginia University School of Nursing. Although the school district and School of Nursing were the primary partners, other programs in the university provided additional support. The school nurse, school of nursing faculty, and nursing students provided wellness programs to students, faculty, and staff. Positive evaluations and high demand for the services demonstrated the school community's need for the program and the success of the partnership.
