Carson High Safe Grad seeks Volunteers, Board Members
Carson High Safe Grad is in need of volunteers, committee members and new board members for next year. Over the past few years our volunteers, committee members and board members have retired or are looking to retire as they no longer have students in the school district.
Safe Grad has been a tradition for Carson High since 1988, started by community volunteers, after a series of graduation incidents and deaths related to alcohol. The main goal is to prevent the use of alcohol and drugs and the consequences, including driving drunk, for graduates or others who might be hurt.
The new graduate can also see how much fun they can have when they take responsibility and celebrate without alcohol and drugs.
This event is a congratulations for the graduates and a showing of how much the community cares about them completing their education. This, in most cases, is the last chance for some graduates to get together and celebrate their accomplishment. Safe Grad is a parent and community sponsored all-night party that begins the evening after graduation at the Carson City Community Center.
Once inside the Community Center, graduates will experience a variety of fun and safe activities including food, music, entertainment, games and other activities during the all-night party.
After breakfast, graduates who have paid the trip fee will load onto buses and head to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo for an exciting day at the park.
We could not make this event happen without community support and that includes volunteers. On average, we utilize about 300 volunteers throughout the year - between the 5K event, Carson High Holiday Craft Fair and the actual Safe Grad night.
If you are interested in either simply volunteering or if you are willing to commit at a deeper level as a committee chair or board member, please reach out to carsonhighsafegrad@gmail.com or contact our current President Kyra Hinton at 434-760-0635.
The community, volunteers and board has put their heart into keeping this program available for our seniors and we would love to see it flourish for years to come with new visions from our community.
