Please join the students, staff and families of Excel Academy in welcoming Liz Beach as the new Program Director. Liz comes to Excel from central Massachusetts where she worked with the state justice system. She is a licensed chemical dependency counselor, has a master's in justice administration, and is working on her Ph.D. on the correlation between PTSD and substance abuse within the Massachusetts State Parole system. Liz has over 20 years of working with resistant clientele and the at-risk population, and brings a tremendous amount of experience, substance abuse recovery knowledge, and energy to Excel Academy.
As a member of the Excel Academy senior leadership team, Liz will oversee the program department including front line and supervisory staff, substance abuse programming, behavior management plans, staff training, residential life and student activities. Liz will work in conjunction with Excel's director of counseling, Scott Spaw, in formulating an internal counseling services component as well as implementing evidence-based practices to serve the unique needs of the Excel Academy student population. Adding group counseling, on and off-site AA/NA meetings, individual counseling, and other industry-standard therapeutic elements will be a focus in the coming months. We also will continue to emphasize our AA/NA-based 12 step approach, rigorous college preparatory academics, a structured environment to help our students make the right choices, the development of healthy relationships, and life-long recovery.
"I am so honored to be a part of Excel Academy and Aspen Education Group and feel privileged to work with these bright and dedicated students and staff," said Liz. "My focus will be to give our students and families a supportive and healthy experience during their 12-24 months with us so that they are able to make use of community-based resources :question: and enjoy positive outlets to support their recovery and life after Excel."

A bit before your time , maybe, this is a fairly common term in the education field. She is describing resources which can be found within the school community. These can range from sport activities, professional counseling, nutrition to the mere environment of being with other kids who are struggling with similar issues and have overcome them or are in the process of overcoming. Many times kids thrive by just being exposed to a healthier environment so the term, “Community based resourcesâ€

For many year it has been a part of the program to drag newcomers down to the jail and let the inmates scare the teenager a little.
They seem to have some kind of selection and a new sheriff in town, because a deputy and part-time employer at Excel academy are going on trial because of these visits.
The inmates had been allowed to undress a boy and apply Vaseline on his backside.
The sheriff has decided that it was not good garage humour:

CONROE, Texas -- A Montgomery County sheriff's deputy lost his job and is facing criminal charges, accused of forcefully disciplining a teenage boy, KPRC Local 2 reported Friday.
The former deputy was working a second job at a private school in Conroe when the Montgomery County District Attorney said the deputy tried to scare the boy into better behavior.
The district attorney's office said Monte Morast, 51, was indicted on charges of official oppression and unlawful restraint.
KPRC learned that Morast has a program at Conroe's Excel Academy, where he works with students with discipline problems.
Investigators are looking into allegations that after being called to the school, Morast threw a teenage boy to the ground and handcuffed him.
Investigators said that Morast took the boy to the Montgomery County jail and allowed inmates to order the boy to strip naked and applied Vaseline to his backside.
KPRC Local 2 tried to speak with Morast.
"I knew you guys would come looking. No comment," he said.
According to the district attorney's office, an official with the boy's private boarding school was also there.
A school official told KPRC Local 2 that no one could speak with the station because they didn't have an appointment.
