Local students were honored Thursday night by the Drug Free Coalition of Hall County for their work producing videos on the message of preventing substance abuse. A Gainesville High School team submitted the first-place video in the high school division. The video includes a series of messages on T-shirts that make the point that though alcohol is the most-used drug by Georgia youth, most students do not drink, and “Dude, that’s so cool” as one shirt reads.
