A History of Project Graduation

Project Graduation is a drug and alcohol free celebration
and serves to provide a safe and fun celebration
environment for graduating Seniors.

In 1979, the Oxford Hills area in Maine experienced
seven alcohol and other drug-related teen deaths during
the commencement season.  As a result of this tragic
experience, the schools and communities in the Oxford
Hills area offered their students an alternative to the
“traditional” graduation night drinking and driving
temptations that all too often end in tragedy.  They called
the party, “Project Graduation.”  By 1986, Project
Graduation activities were held in all fifty states.  

Katy High School has participated in Project Graduation
since 1986. With the help of parents, sponsors, and the
entire community, our senior class will have a night filled
with fun, games, food , and entertainment. Our goal is to
provide them with wonderful party and celebration to add
to their high school memories.
