On Thursday, April 16, 2026, guest speaker, Jeremy Bates, will be speaking to students in grades 9-12. Mr. Bates is known as “The Hope Dealer;” this program is a one-of-a-kind prevention program that infuses live, interactive music, with thought provoking, relevant content, challenging youth and adults to make healthy choices that reflect the greatness they deserve. He takes audiences on a journey through his life to demonstrate how “H-bombs” (hope, humor, head, and heart) are at the core of the choices we make, especially those involving underage drinking and drunk driving. Arming both youth and adults with the same”H’s” that saved his life, everyone will want to join the ranks of the Hope Dealers! If you wish to not have your student partake in this event, please contact the high school office at 309-734-9411.
