Magruder High School is proud to host a symposium addressing the important topic of teenage decisions and how they impact students' lives and our community, Tuesday, January 15, 7 p.m. - 9:15 p.m., in the school auditorium.  Information tables with staff and literature from county agencies will be available beginning at 6:30 p.m. 

The event is open to the public, and students in grades 6 through 12 are encouraged to attend with their parents.

We invite you to join us and learn why all teens are vulnerable to engage in risk-taking behavior, how to recognize a problem, and how to help.  You will also have the opportunity to learn from law enforcement officials about the impact that underage drinking or illegal drug use can have on families and communities. 

Speakers will include Mr. David Baker and Officer Luis Hurtado, Montgomery County Police Community Outreach Program, and Dr. James Bjork, Ph.D., National Institute on Drug Abuse.  A question and answer session will follow these presentations.  Dr. Diane Berman, MHS resource counselor, will be available to help answer questions regarding parenting issues.
