In an effort to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving, Rockingham County High School hosted Prom Promise, a powerful live-action crash scenario. This event is designed to educate students about the real-life consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, especially on prom night. The simulation featured a full-scale emergency response from local agencies, including the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office, North Carolina Highway Patrol, Rockingham County EMS, multiple fire departments, and a Life Flight helicopter. RCS would like to thank all agencies and the RCHS SADD for making this educational and potentially life-saving assembly possible!!
