The Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse (CAASA) invites the high school classes of 2024 to participate in Project Graduation.

Project Graduation is a drug-and alcohol-free all-night celebration for seniors graduating from Calvert County’s public high schools. The program was established in 1987 to deter graduates from using alcohol and drugs as they celebrate this exciting milestone. Each Calvert County public high school receives partial funding for the program, which is provided by CAASA.

Following graduation ceremonies, graduates will be transported to and from the event by school buses. Project Graduation events are adult-supervised and consist of many free activities like swimming, bowling, music and food.

“Project Graduation affords high school graduates a safe event with the freedom to enjoy and celebrate their achievement. We will never be able to measure the number of lives saved due to this program, which has been a key component in keeping graduates away from the temptation of using illicit substances and operating vehicles under the influence,” said JoAnn Faber Tyrrell, CAASA Board President.

There is no cost for graduating seniors to attend Project Graduation. Parents and students of the class of 2024, are encouraged to contact their school administrators to sign up and receive additional information about the program.

CAASA is a grassroots coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to fighting alcohol and drug abuse in Calvert County. CAASA strives to bring awareness to drug trends and encourages a healthy lifestyle. To learn more, www.calvertcountymd.gov/CAASA.
