Chaparral High School was named National Chapter of the Year during the recent National Students Against Destructive Decisions conference.
SADD is dedicated to preventing underage drinking, drug use, risky and impaired driving, teen violence and teen suicide.
As Chapter of the Year, Chaparral received $500 from SADD and $1,000 from DCH Honda of Temecula, which sponsors the chapter.
In a letter congratulating the 100-member Chaparral group, SADD President Penny Wells wrote that judges were particularly impressed by the chapter's comprehensive schedule of activities and commitment to the SADD mission.
At the national conference last month in Torrance, students and advisers from Temecula's Chaparral and Great Oak high schools joined students from across the country to participate in workshops, skill-building activities and storytelling.
Attendees learned how to deal with issues facing teens such as driving safety, Internet safety, bullying and cyber-bullying, underage drinking prevention, healthy teen dating and teen pregnancy awareness.
