Mark your calendars!
The next National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is April 26, 2025, from 10am-2pm (local time) at locations nationwide.
This event, which happens twice a year, is a safe, convenient, and responsible way to dispose of unused or expired prescription drugs at locations in communities throughout the country. The October 2024 Take Back Day brought in 629,953 lbs. (314 tons) of medication. Get more details about the most recent Take Back Day numbers and find a location near you: https://www.dea.gov/takebackday
What Should You Do With Your Unused Meds?
Most people who misuse prescription drugs get them from family, friends, and acquaintances. You can make a difference by keeping track of the medicine you have, by rethinking where and how you keep your medications in your home, and by safely disposing of any unused medications. Read more about ways to secure your meds and safely dispose of them at home.

At Pinkerton we encourage our students to take risks and try new things in their learning. Trying his hand at something he had never done, Dr. Powers recently joined the Welding 2 students to work on a special project.
We are so fortunate to have our CTE program and teachers like Ms. LeClair providing these opportunities for students while they're in high school.
