On May 10th students from grades 7-12 will be participating in the American Drug and Alcohol Survey (ADAS) in cooperation with the Tri-Ethnic Center of Colorado State University.  The funding for the administration of the survey comes from a federal grant awarded to the Tri-Ethnic Center, which allows the survey to be conducted at no cost to the school.  Participation in the ADAS is voluntary.  Parents that wish to withdraw their child from participation may do so by contacting Joyce Budreau in the High School Office at 353-6661.  In addition, a copy of the survey is available at the school for parents who would like to review it.  Baraga High School believes that the participation in this survey will assist the school in planning, funding and evaluating drug and alcohol prevention programs.
