Currently two schools in our County are FOCUS Schools.  They are Geraldine & Crossville.  The SDFS Program is hoping to assist the remaining Dekalb County schools in also becoming FOCUS Schools.  The FOCUS Program promotes school and community partnerships for the prevention of HIV/AIDS and other adolescent risk behaviors.  The program is based on a student led approach and seeks to promote youth envolvement and the planning of prevention activities.  The Alabama State University Center for Leadership & Public Policy provides project management for the FOCUS Program, which is funded by the Alabama Department of Public Health.
