Anti-Bullying Tour Comes to White County High School

With students packing out the main gym at the high school on Monday, March 23, a group of medal-winning X-Games professionals came with a clear message of encouragement and hope.  The mission of this group is to use action sports to help spread a positive message and promote bullying prevention awareness.  While four other riders showcased major skills, Zach Newman served as the emcee, delivering an anti-bullying message sponsored by the United States Marines.  Along with Zach, the professional riders included Russel Summerville, Trevor Meyer, Colin Akerman, and Logan Place.  The students were captivated throughout the hour-long show and cheered the riders as they defied gravity with flips, jumps, and tricks.  Principal Wilson was even brought into the show as a stuntman jumped over him and a young Marine on top of the ramp at the table. 

This tour brings students an interactive and educational event that complements the academic experience.  Not only did the message of this team focus on encouragement and hope of pursuing dreams, but it also included a personal testimony of the emcee, Zach Newman, of his experience with bullying and his ability to overcome.  This event was memorable and needed in today's time with a positive message.  As this group travels all across the United States, they are taking this same message to help millions of students overcome and stop bullying but also teach them to pursue the dreams they have with hard work and dedication. 

Since 2000, this message has been shared with over 4 million students at over 3,000 schools.  The success of this group is best reflected in their passion for impacting students with this positive lesson.  The No Hate Tour 2026 made an impact on students at White County High School that will last not only for now but possibly for years to come.
