The purpose of Project Graduation is to support the upcoming graduates of Newington High School.  We provide an all night alcohol and drug free party to all graduating seniors. 

The concept of Project Graduation began more than 40 years ago in Maine after seven students from one community lost their lives on graduation night in an alcohol and drug related accident. As a result of this tragic accident, the community organized “Project Graduation” to offer their students an alternative celebration to the traditional graduation night of drinking and driving temptations that can, all too often, end in tragedy. By 1986, Project Graduation activities were held in all 50 states!

Newington High School Project Graduation is a non-profit, 501(c)3 tax exempt organization that was established in 2016. We do not receive funds from the school or district budgets. Our success is dependent upon a strong partnership between business and community leaders, parents and guardians, law enforcement, and school officials for volunteerism, fundraising, and logistical support.
