The Coalition is happy to announce the new group of Drug-Free All Stars for the 2022-2023 school year. The Drug-Free All Stars are a group of high school seniors from Angelina County who are selected to serve as role models for their community by living a tobacco, drug, and alcohol-free lifestyle. Drug-Free All Stars are active throughout the school year by volunteering their time in the community promoting a healthy and drug-free lifestyle. Recently, the Drug-Free All Stars were trained on topics they will focus on throughout the year during their volunteer opportunities including: marijuana prevention; tobacco prevention; underage drinking prevention; prescription drug misuse; and media literacy and advocacy. Thank you to Alicia Rosas, Texans for Safe and Drug-Free Youth, and Veronica Smith, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council of Deep East Texas, for helping to train the new cohort of Drug-Free All Stars. The All Stars this year consist of 63 students from seven Angelina County high schools including: Central, Diboll, Hudson, Huntington, Lufkin, Pineywoods Community Academy, and Zavalla. The Drug-Free All Star program is funded by the Texas Department of Transportation.
