Mountain House High School will be hosting an Every 15 Minutes event on Thursday, May 19th. On that morning you may see and/or hear various types of emergency vehicles heading to the school. The emergency response is a carefully planned part of the event and should not cause alarm.
Every 15 Minutes is a two-day program that challenges high school juniors and seniors to think about drinking, driving, personal safety, and the responsibility of making mature decisions when lives are involved. Students involved in the program will be staging a simulated traffic collision on campus to create an immersive and emotional learning experience for their peers.
A planning team from the high school, in conjunction with the California Highway Patrol, the Mountain House Fire Department, and various other local agencies, is taking this proactive step in educating our students about making mature decisions when alcoholic beverages are involved. The program’s name was conceived in 1990 when one alcohol-related traffic fatality occurred in the United States every fifteen minutes.
