Worcester DA Funds Westborough Post-Graduation Party
Each year, the Worcester DA gives grants to local schools for safe post-prom and graduation events.
WESTBOROUGH, MA — Westborough High School got a boost this week from Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr., who presented the school with a grant to throw a post-graduation party.
The school was one of 18 across the county that will share about $25,000 in grants from Early's office for activities meant to steer students away from drinking and other risky behavior after events like prom and graduation.
“These events should be times of celebration for our students and their families, but
these celebrations can turn into tragedies as we know that life can and often does change in the
blink of an eye when alcohol and drugs are involved,” Early said in a news release.
