Carlsbad HS Wins $100K in State Farm 'Celebrate My Drive' Campaign

CHS and CHSTV won the Grand Prize in State Farm's Campaign

The CHS Drumline, Lancer Dancers, Cheerleaders, and the entire student body celebrated with CHSTV as the school received a check for $100,000 from State Farm.

Carlsbad High School was one of nearly 700 high schools from across the USA to enter the Celebrate My Drive Contest.

Based on their 30-second video submission, they were selected as one of 100 finalists. Thanks to incredible community support, Carlsbad High School scored enough votes online to not only be among the twenty-two high schools to win the $100,000 award, but to be selected as the Grand Prize Winner.

As the grand prize winner, the students will be treated to a private concert by the popular band Echosmith.

CHSTV will begin to produce short films and videos to raise student (and parent) awareness re: the dangers of distracted driving. The videos produced will be distributed nationwide.
