Patrick O. High is a full-time student at Xavier University of
                  Louisiana (XULA) pursuing an undergraduate degree on the pre-

                  med track.        His educational journey will continue beyond his
                  undergraduate degree heading to medical school fall 2023. Patrick
                  is a native of Harvey, Illinois as well as attended elementary and
                  middle school in Harvey School District 152. He was one of the
                  middle school students who implemented a peer jury which allows

                  students to best determine the outcome of another student’s
                  infraction. Though peer juries are not considered a Restorative
                  Practice, peer juries are an alternative to punitive consequences.




                  As a young adult, Patrick has been able to use the power of self-
                  reflection to understand the way his life was greatly affected by his

                  surroundings. He has been able to use those experiences as he
                  entered higher education, in his course work, and ways to give
                  back to the south suburban Cook County areas that helped shape
                  him into the young man he is today. He is one of the researchers
                  and interns for the Cook County Southland Juvenile Justice

                  Council and Purple Path as well as a student employee at
                  XULA. Patrick has a great support system that consists of his
                  biological parents and parents sent by love, his grandmothers, and
                  his siblings.
