Dear Families of Junior and Senior Students,
On Friday, May 1, from 10:00 AM–2:00 PM, juniors and seniors will participate in a Mock DWI Crash event off school grounds. This educational experience is designed to show students the real‑life impact and consequences of drinking and driving, and is especially timely as students prepare for prom and graduation season.
Please be aware that the presentation may include emotionally difficult topics. Mental health counselors will be available on site to support students throughout the event. If your student has any sensitivities or trigger concerns that we should be aware of, please contact the school as soon as possible so we can provide appropriate support. Thank you for your partnership in helping keep our students safe and informed.
