'Project Graduation' Used to Reduce Alcohol-Related
Fatalities
Project Graduation, a program that originated in Maine and has
been successful in reducing fatalities from alcohol-related car
crashes, has been implemented in other parts of the country, as
well, WMTW TV-8 reported June 14.
Oxford Hills High School in Maine began the program in the 1980s.
Since then, the school has had all-night, non-alcoholic supervised
celebrations for graduations each year.
Since Project Graduation's inception, 20 states and four Canadian
provinces have duplicated the program. In addition, the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services has recognized it as one of eight model
projects nationally for youth.
