““Drive for LifeDrive for Life””

In a period of 3 years NMHS lost eight (8) current students or recent graduates in car crashes.

We, the students, were fed up with watching our classmates make bad decisions that were ending their lives.

We had to take a stand.

How did this begin?

As student leaders, it’s our responsibility to protect our student body.

We believe “Drive for Life” works because it is STUDENT LED and we BELIEVE in this cause.
