"High school students today face different challenges and situations than past generations, and as a result, it is important for administrators to find new ways of communicating with students.
To stay in touch with Pell City's student population, school resource officer Josh Herren is working to develop a Youth Crime Watch for the Pell City School System, using some of the same principles involved in neighborhood crime watches.
"The school is like a neighborhood," Herren said. "If kids understand they have a civic responsibility for each other and their school, it would be a very positive thing."
