The Warriors are currently arranging assembly times for speaker Michael DeLeon, a former drug dealer and homicide witness, to share his views and experiences on bullying, gangs, alcohol and drugs.

DeLeon is the founder of the Steered Straight program and speaks to schools, churches and organizations around the country in an effort to teach individuals the consequences of their actions.
