Beloved Educator George Morales:

From PGC outreach participant, to peer leader, to faculty advisor

If you’ve been a part of a Peer Group Connection training in the past 15 years, you’ve likely heard George Morales talk about the power of PGC. George has been a part of the PGC network for decades, starting as a 9th grade outreach recipient at Passaic High School before becoming a peer leader in his senior year. And for the past 19 years, George has been paying forward his own program experience by serving as a PGC faculty advisor at Union City High School in New Jersey.

For George, PGC is so much more than a program: it is an experience that creates positive ripple effects well beyond the school day or school year.

CSS is so incredibly grateful for this remarkable educator and person, who has selflessly used his program experience to be a light for so many young people who have followed in and out of the classroom.
