The Adair County High School presented Safety Zone in conjunction with local law enforcement, Breeding Fire Department, Adair County Emergency Medical Services, Air Evac, Stotts, Phelps, and McQueary Funeral Home, Grissom Funeral Home, Adair County Coroner’s Office, and Sherman Burton.

Each year they remind students of the hazards of drinking and driving and the worst case consequences, right before prom. This year was no different.
