Project Graduation

Project Graduation

Project Graduation is a program offered by many public high schools in the United States, in which organized, adult-supervised and alcohol-free activities are offered as part of a post-graduation party, in lieu of student-run events with alcohol or drugs. Events often last through the night and are held in hotels or community centers. Students are checked for illicit substances before entry and are carefully monitored. [Samuels, Christina A.

In 1989, the Federal government provided aid to states across the country that was allocated to schools within the state. 38 schools in New Jersey received $1,500 in seed money to establish non-alcohol graduation night programs.
