On Tuesday, November 18, 2025, freshman students at Clinton County High School participated in the Truth and Consequences event. “Truth and Consequences: The Choice Is Yours” is an enrichment event designed to allow students to see the consequences of bad decisions, including drug and alcohol abuse. Students were given scenarios and then visited appropriate officials as if they had actually engaged in the behavior. Parents and volunteers worked with the youth as they visited booths, such as court system, school administration, counselors, hospital, ministers, law enforcement, jail, and coroner. Students also participated in interactive and informative sessions on a variety of topics, including Coping Strategies, Substance Use Trends, and Narcan Education. Students enjoyed lunch and, completed a debriefing and survey at the end of the event. Thank you to all of the volunteers and community partners, without whom this event would not be possible! Truth and Consequences is organized by the Clinton County Extension Office.
