Our Juniors and Seniors participated in the Prom Promise Simulation to demonstrate the dangers of drinking and driving. Participants wore specially designed goggles to simulate the impairment caused by alcohol consumption. They then attempted to drive a golf cart through a designated course, experiencing firsthand the challenges and dangers of driving under the influence. This simulation provided a sobering reminder of the potential consequences of impaired driving.
