Youth hear from a local community member, and former DHS student, who was involved in a drinking and driving fatality. Things get a tad more serious just before the night comes to an end. During the hypnosis, everyone comes together and watches 25 youth volunteers undergo hypnosis. In addition to the night’s festivities, there is also a guest hypnotist. This year, we had nearly 200 youth in attendance.ĭuring the celebration, the students mix and mingle with their peers, enjoy an endless amount of grub, win prizes every half hour, and play games in which they earn tickets to be redeemed for prizes at the end of the night.

In order to earn prizes, youth must stay remain until the very end. Once students enter the building, they are not able to leave. Project Graduation is held in the DeSoto High School Gymnasium from 10 PM – 3 AM. The celebration is open to all graduating seniors and a pre-approved guest of their choice. Upon arrival, each student is greeted and checked in. The Tobacco Free Partnership of DeSoto County was honored to help sponsor this year's event, which creates a drug-and-alcohol free celebration for youth. The community of DeSoto County has united once again to offer our best wishes to our high school graduates by hosting the annual Project Graduation Celebration! Project Graduation is organized by a local committee and supported by many businesses and leading organizations in DeSoto County.
