Lux/East Project

In 2009, NHRI's 60th year, a new project began at Lux Middle School with graduates of NHRI’s Priceless Preteen Leadership Program.

This project began due to a group of students and parents who were involved in Priceless Preteen who later attended to Lux Middle School. These students organized initially, because they wanted to continue their leadership development beyond just the summer. This group along with their parents approached NHRI and began working twice a month with college students in the Clifton Project.

After one year, NHRI and the Lux students and parents decided to form an entirely new project. New junior counselors are selected every year based on their involvement in Priceless Preteen and if they plan to attend Lux Middle School. For the first few years, students who graduate from Lux and move on to attend Lincoln East High School will still continue in the project. Once the group becomes large enough, the Lux/East Project will split into the Lux Project and East Project.

The objective for the junior counselors will be to make a difference within Lux Middle School and Lincoln East High School.
