Project Graduation is an annual community-sponsored, parent coordinated, alcohol and drug-free event that allows the senior classes of Salmen, Pope John Paul II, Slidell, Pearl River, and Northshore High Schools to enjoy an all-night celebration at the Slidell Auditorium on the night of their respective graduations in May. The Northshore High party will be held after commencement from 11:00pm-5:00am. Seniors are able to enjoy a safe evening of games, food, music, and prizes with their classmates before they go their separate ways after graduation. The Project Graduation organization has been successful in preventing the needless loss of life due to an alcohol or drug related accident on graduation night. The motto of Project Graduation is
*If just one young life is saved, it is all worthwhile.*
Parent volunteers and corporate sponsors are needed to help with this worthwhile event!!!!
