PLANNED DRILL: Prom season is here, and our top priority is ensuring that students celebrate this milestone safely. To emphasize the importance of responsible decision-making, Decatur High School- Decatur, Al will hold a Prom Promise simulation on Monday, April 13, starting at 1:30 p.m.
This event will provide a realistic demonstration of the consequences of impaired or distracted driving. We want to be fully transparent about what you can expect to see and hear on campus.
There will be a large presence of emergency vehicles, including law enforcement, fire trucks, and ambulances. The simulation will depict a mock accident involving student actors and “damaged” vehicles. Emergency responders will treat the scene as a live call, which may include the use of sirens, lights, and loud communication.
We want to ensure that no one is caught off guard. If you live near the school or notice social media posts about “emergency activity” on campus, please know this is a planned drill—not a real emergency.
We kindly ask for your help in sharing this information to prevent unnecessary concern.
Thank you for your continued support in keeping our students safe and informed.
