Press Release from the School Counseling Department

On May 15th, Prevention Specialist Julie Donovan and School Resource Officer Kevin Davies presented valuable information on alcohol, marijuana, and fake pills. Students were allowed to participate in a “sobriety checkpoint” using Fatal Vision goggles that mimic the effects of being under the influence. These lessons were taught to the juniors in AP US History classes as part of a prevention effort before this weekend's prom.
