Thanks to the overwhelming community support, this year's Project Graduation is guaranteed to be just as exciting and full-filled as the ones in the past. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help with an activity, call 270-250-2261. Idea started in Maine over 20 years ago Project Graduation began in Maine over 20 years ago in response to the tragic loss of 18 lives in alcohol and drug related crashes following graduation. During the 1979 commencement period (May 15-June 30) in Maine, seven of the 12 deaths among teenagers that resulted from driving under the influence of alcohol occurred in the area of Oxford Hills. In response to this loss of life, a school-community coalition from Oxford Hills developed and implemented a program called "Project Graduation," a chemical-free graduation celebration, during the 1979-1980 school year. During Oxford Hills' 1980 commencement period, there were no fatalities, no alcohol or drug-related injuries, and no arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol. Maine's first Project Graduation was such a success that many other high schools adopted similar programs. By 1986, Project Graduation activities were held in fifty states. Today the term "Project Graduation" describes a substance free graduation celebration sponsored by the community under the supervision of many adult volunteers. Over the past several years, Project Graduation has been a large part of the Adair County High School's graduation festivities. With support from the community, the students have been able to enjoy a fun and safe celebration, and have made memories that will last a lifetime. --LeAnna Bennett This story was posted on 2015-06-01 10:59:04
