Scholarships for high school sophomores

(iStock) NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! Despite research showing up to a third of U.S. teens experience dating violence, a new study finds a majority of high schools don't have procedures or trained staff to deal with the issue. According to the report published in the journal Pediatrics, some 70 percent of U.S. high school counselors have not received any formal training in teen dating violence. That's a big problem, the study's lead author said. "For example, if a female is abused in a relationship in a high school and they go to a school counselor, the counselor would not have a set protocol or procedure to handle the problem," Jagdish Khubchandani, an assistant professor of community health at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, told Reuters Health.

(AP) — Scotland High School coach Richard Bailey has had a handful of players make it to the NFL out of Laurinburg, North Carolina, none more special than Las Vegas Raiders rookie Zamir White. Shortly after the Raiders took White with the 122nd pick in the NFL draft, he said it was a moment he’d been waiting for his entire life. It’s a life he was never supposed to live.
