CARD Control was founded in order to provide leadership
and help for students to avoid drugs, tobacco, and alcohol. The
strength of a club like this is very much dependent upon good strong
leadership from the student officers and support of the student
body. The club actively participates each year in DARE, PANDA, Red-Ribbon
Week, Prom Promise, PEACE (ethnic & cultural), Drug & SAAD
Alcohol Prevention Workshop, school substance abuse prevention activities,
and the grade school program in substance abuse prevention education.
There are currently 125 members in CARD Control. Miss
Shugart, club supervisor, says: "More involvement of parents
into the club is hoped for, and tobacco will be an issue of target
this year!" Plans include bringing speakers into individual
classrooms to address the topic of alcohol and other substance abuse
problems. Also planned are assemblies and workshops for the entire
student body.
