Consortium High School is joining in an effort to prevent people from texting while driving. We are participating with DATT (Drivers Against Texting & Talking) to raise awareness of how dangerous this practice really is.

Traffic crashes related to distracted driving are the leading cause of death and injury for teenagers in Michigan. Many fatalities involve young people from 16 to 25 years old. This is something that should alarm all families who care about safety. That's why we're getting involved.

Rachael Hatcher, our school social worker, is leading the campaign at our school. She says, "This is a very important issue. We hope that parents will speak with their children and encourage them to take the pledge. Let's all stop texting while driving."
