New Milford High School Project Graduation

WHAT IS PROJECT GRADUATION?
One of the most memorable evenings of your child's high school years, and maybe of their whole life, will be the night they graduate. A tradition at New Milford High School for the last number of years is “Project Graduation”. Project Graduation is an all night graduation party that provides a supervised drug and alcohol free night for all the graduating class to celebrate safely together. Project Graduation is a full night of supervised activities that is planned, funded and coordinated by the parents of each graduating class. Every year the program changes according to the creative inspiration of each Project Graduation Steering Committee of parents. The evening begins approximately 20 minutes after Graduation Ceremonies have ended. The graduates return their caps and gowns, say goodbye to their families, then board a bus to an undisclosed destination. Activities usually start with dinner at a special location (Mount Fuji, Spirit of NJ, etc.) and then move on to another facility where most of the evening's amusement takes place (health spa, etc.). The evening ends sometime the next morning (about 7am) when the students enjoy a hearty breakfast back in New Milford (usually at the High School) and finally return home…tired…happy…but most importantly SAFE!

WHY PROJECT GRADUATION?
By 1987, serious or fatal accidents involving students had risen to an alarming rate (the direct results of unsupervised festivities on Graduation Night). Parents and school administrators sought for a way to save their children from a similar fate. Out of this desperate need, Project Graduation was born. It began as an experimental idea, with just a few schools taking part, but due to its glowing success over the years, the amount of schools adopting this program has grown by leaps and bounds throughout New Jersey.
