ROLLA—The Central District Coalition for Roadway Safety awarded Rolla High School (RHS) a $400 Project Graduation grant to assist with Project Graduation, a drug and alcohol-free after graduation celebration. Schools that participated in the ‘It Only Takes One’ seatbelt competition were eligible to apply for the Project Graduation grant, which included cash, gift cards and educational incentives that remind students to buckle up and drive safely. Meramec Regional Planning Commission (MRPC), a member of the coalition, presented incentives to seniors and their parents, who are planning the all-night event, along with school administrators including (from left) RHS Principal Dr. Jim Pritchett and seniors Samantha Swain, Kameron Wood, Emily Roberts and Trustin Dinsdale.
