Project Graduation is a substance-free, adult supervised event designed to provide keep our graduates safe during the night of their high school graduation.
History ... a national overview
The idea of an all-night, alcohol and drug-free graduation party and/or celebration is not new. In Oregon, high schools have sponsored such parties for over 40 years. The name "Project Graduation" was coined in 1981 by the state of Maine when a total of 18 young people had died during two graduation seasons due to alcohol related accidents. Maine's first Project Graduation was such a success that high schools throughout the state adopted similar programs and Project Graduation became a generic name for the celebrations that have started a tradition....celebrating safely by celebrating alcohol and drug free! SPHS has been involved with Project Graduation for almost 20 years.
