The sound of slamming metal echoed across the baseball field at Sedona Red Rock High School on Thursday, April 18. Students felt the drama of an alcohol-related auto accident in the Every 15 Minutes Program, which took place Thursday and Friday, April 19.

The program staged a mock accident, emergency rescue, trial and funeral, presenting lifelike experiences in a bold “in your face” way to graphically illustrate to students the dangers of drinking and driving. The program demonstrates the consequences on friends and family.

This powerful program challenges students to think about drinking, personal safety, and the responsibility of making mature decisions when lives are involved.
