PINECREST, Fla. (WSVN) -- A South Florida school sent a clear message that their campus is a safe place for students.

Miami Palmetto Senior High joined with the Anti-Defamation League in their anti-bullying campaign called "No Place For Hate."

The school hosted a presentation ceremony for students thanks to the sponsorship of the Harriet and Jack Rosenfeld Foundation.

The campaign empowers schools to promote respect and challenge prejudice and bigotry. "A lot of kids feel like they're more important," said Wendell Dunn, "or bigger, a little faster or coz some other kid has something more than they have. That goes around a lot, and you know bullying is like really bad."

Some students participated in a three-hour anti-bullying training course and created a special task force to implement awareness and prevention of bullying.
