This month and next, students from the Hermosa community will be taking the Illinois Youth Survey, which surveys young people regarding substance abuse.
Schools opt to take the survey on a strictly voluntary basis, and the identities of all students remain anonymous. Data for specific schools are available only to organizations given specific permission by the school. The survey results provide these organizations with invaluable information on the level and type of substance abuse prevalent among young people.
This year, the following Hermosa area schools will be taking the IYS:
North Grand High School
Ames Middle School
Nixon Elementary
McAuliffe Elementary
The HHAPC and The Miracle Center would like to thank these schools for opting to take the survey. This information will greatly help us in our mission to stop underage drinking in Hermosa!
