Why did ProGrad get started?

• Project Celebration is a combination of education and lock-in events conducted by educators, parents and community partners to help keep students safe and alcohol-free throughout the school year and especially during school-related celebrations.

• The goal is to reduce the number of injuries and deaths caused by impaired driving. 

What is ProGrad?AHS Project Graduation 2014 (ProGrad) is a supervised, all night, drug and alcohol free, celebration for AHS graduating seniors on June 7, 2014!  The entire evening is spent on campus with an assortment of food and refreshments, casino night, games, sports activities, entertainment and many, many prizes.

Each student who attends receives a “gift bundle” that contains several 

great things for the graduating senior as well as Bulldog Bucks.  

Throughout the year, seniors and their volunteer parents can earn extra “Bulldog Bucks” which are needed to purchase raffle tickets for such prizes as luggage, laptops, dorm refrigerators, printers, TVs, MP3 players, docking stations, game systems,  cameras, DVD players and much, much more!!
