Associate Principal Dan Dunne announced that Oak Forest High School has taken First Place among the ten schools in Region 1, for the program called “5 to Drive.” This is the sixth consecutive year that OFHS has won First Place honors.
The “5 to Drive” campaign focuses on five safe driving habits. The “5 to Drive” habits that the program will be focusing on are: no cell phones, buckle up, no alcohol, no speeding, and no extra passengers. These habits are ones that teens should avoid while in a car.
As a result of winning the First Place prize, Oak Forest High School wins an additional $2,500 to implement post-prom activities such as a breakfast the morning after prom, and additional prizes and giveaways like Frisbees, beach balls, t-shirts, and cinch bags for the students that attend.

In addition to the monetary prizes, Oak Forest High School will be invited to attend the Ford Motor Company’s Driving Skills for Life Ride and Drive. This is an opportunity for teens to learn critical driving techniques and skills from professional drivers and it is a session that students have found helpful in the past.
