PAWS is an acronym for “People Assisting Waverly Students”. Their motto is: "Trust Us; We Care!” PAWS members are:
- Trained in peer counseling and are available to listen to any problem a fellow student may have.
- Ready to contact advisors when the problem or concerns harm or are a life threatening situation to the individual or another person.
- Available to listen but not give advice.
- Trained to maintain confidentiality at all times, except in life threatening situations.
- Responsible for creating an awareness of alternatives to problems other than turning to drugs or alcohol.

- Mrs. Brenda Walls - PAWS advisor
