SADD
Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) is a student-led organization for grades 7–12 that empowers young people to make healthy, responsible choices and to positively influence their peers. The program focuses on prevention, leadership, and education related to issues that impact student safety and well-being.
SADD provides students with opportunities to learn about and promote safe decision-making in areas such as substance abuse prevention, mental health awareness, bullying prevention, distracted and impaired driving, and overall personal responsibility. Through discussions, activities, and peer-led initiatives, students develop the skills needed to navigate real-life challenges while supporting a positive school culture.
Members of SADD work together to plan and lead school-wide awareness campaigns, presentations, and events that encourage thoughtful choices and healthy behaviors. The program emphasizes peer-to-peer influence, recognizing that students often learn best from one another. Participation helps students build leadership skills, communication abilities, and confidence while making a meaningful contribution to their school and community.
SADD is open to all students interested in leadership, service, and promoting a safe and supportive environment for everyone. No prior experience is required—just a willingness to learn, participate, and make a positive impact.

On May 4, 2023, we hosted a mock crash that demonstrated the potentially fatal consequences that come from distracted, drunk, and irresponsible driving. The mock crash included two wrecked vehicles. Students served as participants in the crash, but the rest of the participants were actual first responders. A huge thank you to Chatfield Police and Fire, Chatfield Ambulance, and the Fillmore and Olmsted Sheriff’s Departments for their participation.
