Hawthorne High Educates Middle School Peers

Hawthorne Sr. High HITT students led a workshop for 80 of their Jr. High peers for the purpose of educating them about the various situations in which they might come into contact with drugs (particularly alcohol, marijuana and prescription pill) and the consequences of that use or contact.   Since most of the middle school and high school students knew each other, there was instant rapport between the two groups. 

The workshop began with an interactive true-false quiz about the subject and ended with, after the scenes on the topic were performed, a discussion of the information presented in those scenes and the differences in how students would answer the quiz questions now.
