Pinkerton’s School Counseling Department Hosts International Save A Life Tour

Derry, NH - On March 23rd, Pinkerton Academy's School Counseling Department, led by Director Mrs. Kara Gagnon, hosted the International Save A Life Tour, sponsored by The New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety in collaboration with the Injury Prevention Center at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth.

The event offered Pinkerton's senior students a unique experience using driving simulators that replicated both distracted driving (texting) and driving while impaired. The primary focus was to educate the youth on the dangers of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of any substance and driving while distracted. The event employed a hands-on approach to educate students on safe driving practices, with an emphasis on valuable information that could potentially save a life.

The School Counseling Department is proud to have provided an interactive and educational experience to the students of Pinkerton Academy. The Department hopes to continue fostering a safe and supportive environment for its students and encourages the community to prioritize the safety of all drivers on the road.
