What is PG?
PROJECT GRADUATION is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, because it is the students "last" time together as a senior class. It is actually their first reunion, and more importantly, it is a SAFE WAY for them to celebrate their biggest accomplishment in their young lives. This special event is FREE of tobacco, drugs, and alcohol.
Why have PG?
To help prevent teenage, or any, deaths caused by drinking and driving on graduation night. We want ALL of our 2012 graduates to have a SAFE and MEMORABLE graduation night!

At Pearl City High School, PG is a joint effort among all grade levels. Parents and students of seniors, as well as underclassmen, are encouraged to get involved. We need volunteers for our fundraising events to help raise $$$ for this special night. Support is also done through monetary and item donations.
