🎓 Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓

The Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse (CAASA) Board of Directors proudly congratulates the graduating seniors of Calvert, Huntingtown, Northern, Patuxent High Schools, and The Calverton School

Over the next few days, we'll be celebrating your hard work, determination, perseverance, and the many accomplishments you've achieved throughout your high school years. Whether you're headed to college, the workforce, military service, technical training, or another exciting opportunity, you have much to be proud of. We wish you all the best as you begin this next chapter of your lives.

Graduation is a time for celebration, but it's also a time to make smart choices. As you celebrate with family and friends, we encourage you to do so safely.

⚠️ Understand the dangers of alcohol use, especially binge drinking.

⚠️ Never mix alcohol with other drugs.

⚠️ Never, ever take a pill from another person—whether it's a friend, acquaintance, or stranger. One pill can contain fentanyl or other dangerous substances and could be deadly.

Your future is bright. Protect it by making safe decisions and looking out for one another.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! We are proud of you and look forward to seeing all that you accomplish.
