Peer Listening trains students to use active listening as a tool in guiding other students through a problem.  They receive intensive training in effective communication skills, crisis intervention, and referral.  Peer listeners also raise awareness about issues relevant to adolescents. As Hope Squad members, Peer Listeners are trained in suicide prevention and work to improve mental health education while reducing the stigma. They inform staff, students, and the community of these issues and work to build a positive school culture.

Student Council serves as a voice for the student body and a service organization for the school.  Members participate in a wide variety of activities, including leadership training workshops, advisory councils, and special projects.  Student Council strives to be a positive influence in improving Beavercreek High School and its environment. The class meets one period each day, is led by five elected officers, and has a limited number of students.  Selection to Student Council is based on school citizenship and a student’s potential to contribute to the student body.  Membership is by selection from those who register;  it is not an elected office for the regular members.  Students may register for the fall or spring semester.
