Why the Interquest program is the future

• It is as important to know that there are no
  drugs, alcohol and firearms as well as it is to
  know that there are.
  
• The Interquest program is designed for
  deterrence.
  
• The program provides students with an excuse to
  say no to drugs.
  
• Shows that schools are taking a proactive
  approach to keep the schools premises safe and
  secure.
