Roxbury   Project Graduation

Roxbury Project Graduation is a non-profit organization that provides a safe, alcohol-free, and drug-free celebration for Roxbury High School graduates. The event is made possible with the help of parents, staff and through community donations and year-long fundraising. 

A Little History: Project Graduation, originated in Maine during the 1970s in response to twelve teens who were killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes. Seven of those teens were from the same community. A group of parents, determined not to let alcohol ruin more lives, organized and hosted the original chemical-free alternative to the late night partying that often accompanies senior celebrations. But the idea of all-night, chemical-free parties was not new—Oregon schools had been hosting parties like this for decades.   (Source)

It did not take long before this became a nationwide tradition. Our goal is to continue this tradition in providing a safe, fun and memorable night for our graduating seniors. We can only make this happen with the support of our  volunteers and the community.
