In short, Project Grad provides SAFETY. Inaugurated in 2004, PG is a highly anticipated tradition for every class of IRHS students. More than 90% of IRHS seniors attend on their graduation night. Our goals is to provide an event where graduates celebrate together as a class for the last time while parents sleep soundly knowing that their son/daughter is safe and having a great time.
 
Our tradition is part of a larger national movement. This program, developed by the US Department of Transportation and the National Transportation Safety Board more than 30 years ago, is conducted in cities across the United States.Here are some reasons why so many communities give their seniors a grad night.
 
Project Grad removes alcohol and drugs from the celebration equation. Here are some reasons why (scroll down to "How to Answer...." section) it is important to spend time/money to decrease substance abuse on one night, even though some kids abuse substances all year. Here are some more information on why (see bottom p. 5 on link).

Keeping graduation night safe for graduates and the larger community is the foundation for why so much time and effort is put into Project Grad each year. An added bonus of all our efforts is the community building that happens in the process. This too makes a difference that creates positive ripples benefiting us all. Hundreds and hundreds of people and organizations contribute to make Project Grad possible.

How You Can Help!

It takes hundreds of volunteers and thousands of hours to put on this amazing event!  Parents, family and members of the community come together every year to make this a night to remember for our graduates. There are many ways that you can contribute.

-Volunteer at one of our PG Work Parties: These are held throughout the year at the school.  Help create the decorations for the event!  No artistic experience needed!  Paint, Glitter, Build or Sew! There is something for everyone! Watch our newsletter for dates!
-Donate to Project Grad: Money is used to buy supplies and for deposits on the many attractions/vendors that are brought in for the event.  Throughout the year, we put items on our "wish list" of things that you may have laying around the house.  Watch for needed items in our newsletter!
-Support our Fund Raisers:  PG sponsors several fund raisers throughout the year, the largest being the Oro Valley Cup Golf Tournament.  Watch our newsletter for more information.
-Volunteer on Event Night: Come and help at this amazing event! It takes several hundred people to set up, work the night of the event and clean up afterwards!  There is something for everyone from  helping with check in, dealing Black Jack, serving food, running the prize booths and more! Parents that can use a drill or have electrical experience are in demand!

Whether you can give a few hours or or a few days to help with Project Grad, there will be something fun for you to do!
