"Our kids know they don't want to go down that road again," says Phil Weaver, chairman of the school's counseling department. If teachers spot a kid who's having trouble, they immediately talk to a counselor who can set up a family conference, and Teague meets weekly with the school counselors to keep informed of potential problems.
