Emerald School of Excellence will be the first Recovery High School in the Carolinas. There are over 40 Recovery High Schools all around the country that are successful and thriving. It takes a community coming together, that not only sees the need, but is inspired by the vision; to provide our young people with the tools necessary to become change agents in their communities that will break the shame and shatter the stigma that surrounds addiction and mental health.

Our night will be one for the books, and one that you will be looking forward to attending each and every year. The amazing Bentley's on 27th will create an ambiance of beauty, high standards of excellence, and fellowship amongst the most influential community leaders in the Carolinas.

Throughout the night you will enjoy a fabulous 3 course meal, guest speakers, musical performances, and many opportunities to participate in silent and live auction items that will provide ways for you to honor a loved one lost, someone still battling, someone incarcerated, or a warrior in recovery from substance use disorder or a mental illness.

You will leave our event with a feeling of urgency, an urgency to spread the word about this resource, to help share the good news that this resource will be in Charlotte in 2019 for the youth and families that need us. You’ll want to attend again next year and encourage your closest friends and family members to join you.

If we are vulnerable together, if we open up our hearts together, if we listen and work every waking moment for our kids together, if we provide ways to inspire our brilliant children to become the leaders, the creative thinkers, and the kindest souls here on this planet earth together...... TOGETHER we can accomplish amazing feats in the 525,600 minutes that we are given each and everyday for the next generation.

They are counting on US!
