Catoctin Safe and Sane is the graduation party thrown by the parents of graduation seniors at Catoctin High School. The annual party is packed with entertainment, food, prizes and much more, designed to keep students safe all night long and out of harm’s way
on graduation night. Typically over 96% of the graduates attend the party. Since the
program began in 1990, the committee states they have had no alcohol or drug related deaths on graduation night.
