D.A.R.E. - Drug Abuse Resistance Education
D.A.R.E.(Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is a comprehensive prevention education program designed to equip school children with skills to recognize and resist social pressures to experiment with tobacco, alcohol, other drugs and violence. This unique program utilizes uniformed law enforcement officers to teach a formal curriculum to students in a classroom setting.
D.A.R.E. gives special attention to fifth and sixth grade students to prepare them for entry into intermediate & high school, where they are most likely to encounter pressure to use drugs. D.A.R.E also offers a formal curriculum at the high school level which is a follow-up & re-enforcement of the core training (grade 5 & 6). Also there will soon be a parents program to compliment the children's programs.
