On February 23rd, Lake Lure Classical Academy will host Steered Straight. The mission of the program is to steer youth straight toward making sound, rational decisions through a learning experience that provides a message of reality to help them make positive, informed choices. Steered Straight was founded by Michael DeLeon, an ex-offender who, after nearly 8 years of drug addiction and gang involvement, spent 12 years in state prison and half-way houses for a gang-related homicide. Since Michael's release from prison, he has earned 3 Associates Degrees, a Baccalaureate Degree in Business Management, with a minor in Criminal Justice and a CADC Educational Certificate.
