FOCUS: Lanier High bringing “Distinguished Gentlemen” program to fruition

By Vanessa Butts | Lanier High School Counselor Bobby Gueh has taken a winning recipe for mentorship at other schools, and implemented it on a larger scale at Lanier High School. Gueh asserts that, “…the Distinguished Gentlemen program was designed to provide mentorship, academic support, and social development for young men who have been identified as being at-risk. The majority of students in this program come from a low socio-economic status home and have challenges both academically and socially. Currently, an extension of the program has been created at various Gwinnett County Public Schools, and we have now birthed the Distinguished Gentlemen (D.G.) of Lanier High School.”
