With prom season right around the corner, McDonald High School students are stepping up to make safety a priority. On Thursday, students in grades 10–12 participated in a powerful SMASH (Students Making A Safer Highway) Assembly that encouraged them to make smart decisions during prom and graduation season by signing the PROM PROMISE. Led by McDonald students Juliana Krumpak, Brooke Bosheff, Gracie Callow, and Drew Zajack, the event highlighted the importance of driving responsibly and avoiding distractions and impairment. These four students have been attending meetings at the Trumbull County Educational Service Center hosted by the Ohio State Highway Patrol throughout the school year to learn more about traffic safety and bring that message back to their peers. After viewing a realistic mock crash and hearing from the McDonald Police Department about the dangers of unsafe driving, students were invited to sign the PROM PROMISE—a pledge to make safe, responsible choices. Those who signed the PROM PROMISE received a Chick-fil-A gift card, reinforcing that doing the right thing has its rewards. All juniors and seniors, as well as sophomores attending prom, were eligible to sign the pledge. The event also included an obstacle course and “drunk goggles” to help students experience first hand how dangerous impaired driving can be. By signing the PROM PROMISE, McDonald students are showing that they’re not just ready for a great prom night—they’re ready to make it a safe one. Thank you to Chick-fil-A Boardman for donating the cards and A&M Towing for donating the vehicle!

🎶 We’re thrilled to announce that our elementary and high school music programs have been awarded grants from the GPD Foundation! 🎉 🎹 Our elementary students now have a full set of MIDI keyboards—plug-and-play with their Chromebooks for an exciting new way to create and explore music! 🎼 Students in grades 5–12 will each receive a personal tuner caddy, helping them fine-tune their instruments and sharpen their sound. A huge thank you to the GPD Foundation for investing in the future of our young musicians. These tools will fuel creativity, build confidence, and elevate music education for years to come! 🎵💙

29 years to the day! Selah, Juliana, Naomi, and Kylie broke a long-standing school record in the Distance Medley Relay today at the Walsh Jesuit Warrior Relays!
