SADD - Students Against Destructive Decisions
SADD wants to remind our students, family and friends to please drive carefully as we approach many exciting celebrations as this school year comes to a close. Stay alert, stay focused and follow all rules of the road. Take a look at the car crash display when entering the high school. Destractions lead to carelessness. Be safe!
