Principal’s Weekly Highlight This week Steele Canyon participated in the Every 15 Minutes program. This event is a powerful reminder of the dangers of drinking and driving. All Seniors and Juniors watched a staged accident unfold in our parking lot on Thursday, and attended an assembly on Friday detailing the family tragedies that occur in the aftermath. Our students and parents did an incredible job in their roles. Law enforcement agencies, hospital, and court personnel conveyed their experiences through personal experience. A vow was made by all students to never drink and drive or ride in a car with an impaired driver. Please join us in a discussion with your children about making safe choices.
