#project grad maui

An informational meeting to discuss Project Graduation, a drug- and alcohol-free celebration held after high school commencements, has been scheduled virtually via Google Meet at 3 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31.

Project Graduation is an overnight, substance-free graduation party where high school graduates are honored and celebrated in a safe, secure and sober environment “ensuring that our streets remain safe for our community on what has unfortunately become one of the deadliest nights of the year for teenagers.”

King Kekaulike High School seniors are asked to register now for Project GradNite. The goal of Project GradNite is to keep King Kekaulike’s graduating class safe as they celebrate the beginning of the next phase of their lives after the commencement ceremony on May 19, 2016.

More than $46,000 in County of Maui funding is available for high schools participating in the 2014 Project Graduation campaign that promotes alcohol- and drug-free programs.

An estimated $30,000 in county funds are being made available for 2012 Project Graduation Programs on Maui. Schools that want to apply for funding can do so through the County of Maui’s Volunteer Center website.
