On Wednesday, April 29th, Midwest Central High School participated in Operation Prom Night. With help from the American Red Cross, local Law Enforcement Agencies, local Fire Protection and Ambulance Squads, and the Mason County Coroner we were able to present a very realistic crash scene scenario at our school. Students were told that a drunk driver who attended a drinking party after prom hit several students who were coming home from the school sponsored post-prom party. Two other students were the first people on the scene and called 911.
Operation Prom Night is a good reminder to students about what can happen when they drive impaired. In this scenario, the drunk driver caused one fatality and multiple serious injuries. Students were reminded that he would have to live the rest of his life, with the knowledge that he was responsible for a death. Students also heard, from the coroner, how hard it is on parents and families when they learn what has happened to their child.
