Welcome to the official Peace On the Streets Blog!

Peace On the Streets is a non-violent program founded at Santa Cruz High School by a group of committed students and teachers. Peace On the Streets is made up of people seeking to truly make a change in our community. A change of approach, direction, and method to bring about a significant shift in the mind-state and culture of a community. A community disrupted and disconnected due to a recent increase in local gang violence and prejudiced judgments made by some. Our aim is to inform the community of the student/teenage perspective and our opinion on a topic that directly affects many of us directly or indirectly. We are a group that feels in some way or another personally connected with recent deaths and events. We use our emotions and opinions as motivation to take action using peaceful measures to bring about an actual change in our environment. We are dedicated, and determined to show the people's voice can be heard and it can be powerful.
