HALTOM HIGH SCHOOL WINS!!!

After a month of signing pledges, the Teens Against Distracted Driving contest is finally over! Haltom High School was able to get the most pledges signed to not text and drive, with 89.3% of their student body! The other four schools did outstanding as well, with Southwest High School coming in second with 68.5% of their students, Mansfield Summit High School finishing with 41% of their student body, Keller High School with 39.7% of their students, and Boswell High School with 27.2% of their students. Overall, 5, 385 teens signed the pledge.

Congratulations to all the schools that participated for your hard work and dedication! Haltom High School Student Council will be receiving a $500 donation from The Anderson Law Firm for recognition of their achievement. I know they’ll find a good place for the money to go.

I hope this Project will encourage both teens and adults to drive without distractions, remember the average driver will go 200 yards without looking at the road when reading just one text. Stay safe, and congratulations again to all of the high schools that participated in TADD!
