Our Mission

The mission of Project Graduation is to provide a safe environment for each graduating senior from the five area high schools (Northshore High, Pearl River High, Pope John Paul High, Salmen High and Slidell High). The graduates have the opportunity to create a memory of a lifetime at these all-night celebrations. The party includes food, soft drinks, entertainment, games, prizes, and much more. Our motto is “If just one young life is saved, it is all worthwhile.” This is a fantastic graduation party! The graduates have a blast and are safe.
