Local Students Partner with USA Network

TYLER — Ten Robert E. Lee High School students are in the picture as the USA network sponsors a “Character Quest” campaign in which high schoolers get to share their stories about prejudice or bullying. KETK reports WWE Superstar Mark Henry introduced the students at a school assembly Friday. Robert E. Lee Dean of Curriculum Heather Carnes says the goal of the project was to learn a little more about the people we see every day. Carnes says, “All of these stories centered around a time in their life when they experienced or saw an experience of prejudice or bullying.” This was the first time the USA “Character Project” had ever come to Texas. Sponsors from the project said coming to Texas and working with Lee students was by far one of the best experiences they’ve had in this project.
