DARE, the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program,
centers around “just saying no” to drugs and violence as
well as the issues of peer pressure, assertiveness,
self-esteem, and consequences. The DARE curriculum is a
seventeen-week program that can be presented to fifth grade,
seventh grade, and high school students. District 7’s
program targets the fifth grade class that is preparing to
enter the middle level school. The DARE program in District
7 is paid for by the City of Edwardsville and is taught by
specially trained police officers.
