Dupo Junior/Senior High School
All Students: If you arrive at school late or get called out, please remember to come by the office to sign out.
This week is National Prevention Week, each day there will be a “Did You Know” fact about alcohol and opioids to increase awareness about the dangers of these drugs. The high school health classes have made informative posters that you can see hanging in the hallways. Additionally, if you would like to take a pledge to stop the misuse of alcohol, you can pick up a pledge card in the office. When you return it, they will give you a small gift in return.
DID YOU KNOW?--If you or someone you know is suffering from a substance use disorder please reach out to a school counselor or the National Drug and Alcohol Treatment Hotline at 1-800-622-HELP, it is a free and confidential hotline that is available 24/7.
