Our four area schools are a great resource for our journey to being alcohol- and drug-free. The pulse of our youth can be found hustling from class to class, forming relationships and viewpoints with friends and teachers. CARES clubs provide countless fun activities and skill-building and in turn build resistance to substance abuse.
