MHS Citizenship Award

Mapleton High School’s staff PLC (professional leardning community) focused on staff and student leadership & achievement recognition, has created a Citizenship Award for high school students that will be awarded quarterly. This award should recognize a high school student who consistently demonstrates outstanding character, leadership, and commitment to their school and community. There are other criteria outlined on the award submission form.

We are encouraging the community to nominate students as well. We know our students do many great things outside the walls of MHS, so we want the opportunity to recognize them for these efforts. For example, maybe a student in Polk shovels a bunch of neighborhood driveways after a snowstorm, just to help their neighbors. The community could nominate this student for the Citizenship Award.

Please use this link if you have any students that you believe should be nominated for this award.

  • The Safer Ohio School Tip Line is a free safety resource available to all Ohio schools. The tip line is an anonymous reporting system that accepts tips via call, text, webform, and mobile app 24 hours-a-day. Anyone can download the Safer Ohio School Tip Line app or use this link to access the webform.

    This tip line allows students and adults to anonymously share information with school officials and law enforcement about threats to student safety — whether that involves a threatened mass incident or harm to a single student.

    Things to report to the tip line include (but are not limited to):

    • Bullying incidents;
    • Withdrawn student behaviors;
    • Verbal or written threats observed toward students, faculty or schools;
    • Weapon/suspicious devices on or near school grounds;
    • Unusual/suspicious behavior of students or staff;
    • Self-harm or suicidal sentiments; and
    • Any other school safety-related concerns.

  • 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline

    Those experiencing a mental health crisis, and their loved ones, can reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline through call or text to 988 or chat online at 988Lifeline.org. This easy-to-remember three-digit number ensures confidential, cost-free, 24/7 support for Ohioans experiencing mental health crises.

    988 establishes a direct link to empathetic, easily accessible care and support for  individuals facing emotional distress, such as thoughts of suicide, mental health or  substance use crisis, or concern for a friend or family member. Ohio’s 988 plan is an  integral component of the state’s broader commitment to delivering high-quality,  person-centered crisis aid in communities statewide.

    Remember, there is hope and the lifeline is effective. You’re not alone during times of crisis.

    What Happens When I Call 988?

    First, you’ll hear a message telling you that you’ve reached the 988 Suicide & Crisis  Lifeline. You’ll then listen to hold music while you’re being connected with a trained crisis worker at the crisis center closest to you. This person will ask you to describe your crisis, listen to you, provide support, and share any resources that may be helpful.

    Determining When to Call 911 vs 988: Mental Health Emergency or  Crisis?

    While 911 is for immediate, life-threatening emergencies, 988 serves as a resource for those experiencing a mental health crisis.

    A mental health emergency is a life-threatening situation and necessitates an immediate response from law enforcement or paramedics. A person may be actively trying to harm themselves or someone else. In other situations, a person may be out of touch with reality, be unable to function properly, or may be out of control. Examples include an active suicide threat, self-injury that needs medical attention, severe intoxication, or apparent drug overdose.

    A mental health crisis is not life-threatening. Intervention may be possible without an immediate response from law enforcement or paramedics. Examples of a mental health crisis includes talking about suicide or planning to harm oneself, overuse of drugs or alcohol, or extreme depression, anxiety, or other mental illness symptoms.
