The West school code is 431-130. You will need this number when registering for the ACT or SAT. See your counselor to obtain a free ACT voucher. Sometimes coping with what life brings us can be tricky; other times it can seem somewhat unbearable. It is more important than we might think to find understanding people we can talk with during the tough times. Studies show that the number one factor in helping us bounce back better through the toughest of times depends upon how well we were able to lean on the support of at least one other caring person while we are struggling in the thick of it. If you or a friend is experiencing feelings of intense concern, which may be causing more stress than usual, it’s a great time to talk about your worries with a trusted friend or adult to help you through this!
Between the hours of 10:00 am to 11:00 pm, you might want to call Telefriend at 1-865-481-3333, but if they are short on volunteers, they may need to route your call to our local CONTACT Helpline, which you can also access by calling 1-865-584-4424. Both of these numbers will help you get in touch with a trained adult who can help you cope, but if you feel the need to speak to someone closer to your age, you might want to call Kids Under Twenty One at 1-888-644-5886 so you may speak with a trained teen volunteer. Teen availability hours typically run from 5:00 pm until 11:00 pm, except on Fridays and Saturdays when they try to keep their lines open until 1:00 am. If you call outside of those hours, you can expect a trained adult to help guide you through your talk.
If you are having a difficult time coping with stress and have access to the internet you can look for information to help you cope through these times by linking onto any of the following web pages:
1. Coping: You Are Not Alone (mental illness): www.coping.mhasp.org
2. Kids Under Twenty One: www.kuto.org
3. To Write Love On Her Arms:www.twloha.com/find_help
4. National Hopeline Network: www.hopeline.com
5. Childhelp: www.childhelp.org
6. National Domestic Violence Helpline: www.ndvh.org
7. National Eating Disorders Assoc.: www.nationaleatingdisorders.org
8. Teen Advice/Support- www.teenhelp.org
So if you find yourself wanting to talk with someone who can understand, the important thing to remember is that you are not alone.

knoxAchieves began in 2008 as an economic development initiative out of Knox County Mayor Ragsdale's office. Because of its success, knoxAchieves was charged with the task of expanding the program statewide, thus tnAchieves will be in 23 counties as of August 2011.
What is tnAchieves?
tnAchieves is a college access, last dollar scholarship program designed to provide an opportunity for Tennessee public high school graduates to receive up to $3,000 annually for community college tuition. Our program has three unique components:
•Volunteers are donating funds to provide a college education for students who would otherwise lack the opportunity.
•Volunteers serve as mentors to our students to eliminate the barriers associated with college access and success.
•Our scholars volunteer their time and energy by giving back to the community eight hours of community service per semester they receive funding.
TN Governor's SchoolThe State of Tennessee provides twelve summer programs for gifted and talented high school students. |
