Algonquin Regional High Gets Post-Prom Party Grant

NORTHBOROUGH, MA — Seniors at Algonquin Regional High School are sure to have a fun post-prom celebration thanks to a grant from District Attorney Joseph Early. The funds will be used to support fun and safe post-prom activities to students. This year, Early’s office has given more than $20,000 to provide programming for sixteen different schools across the county.

“I’m so proud that our office is able to support Algonquin Regional High School in their
efforts to prevent drinking and driving on prom night,” Early said. “I think it’s so important
that we do everything we can to make sure that our kids have safe, fun post-prom and post-
graduation activities.”

In an effort to promote youth safety, Early and his Community Outreach team have
been presenting to teens and their parents across the county about several issues that directly
impact students. Some of these issues include the dangers of mixing drugs and alcohol, social
host awareness for parents, and distracted driving.

The funding comes from the Drunk Driving Trust Fund, which is a state grant that provides support services and advocacy to victims, witnesses, and their family members of drunk and drugged driving crashes.
