Chris shared his powerful personal journey of how addiction took hold behind the scenes of a successful basketball career, and how recovery gave him a second chance at life. Through an honest, direct message, he spoke about choices, consequences, and the importance of seeking support.
Students described the presentation as “powerful” and said it “gave them a different perspective,” noting that Chris spoke to them like adults: real, respectful, and impactful.
We’re grateful to Chris Herren for helping our students reflect on decision-making, personal responsibility, and making healthy choices. Opportunities like this support student growth both inside and outside the classroom.
