On the morning of May 2, 2024 Adair County High School, in conjunction with several community first responders, will stage an activity for Adair Couty High School students that will involve a staged car accident. The activity, entitled Operation 10-46-which is emergency personal radio communication code for an automobile accident with injuries, will take place at the Adair County Middle School Football field. The purpose of this activity is to reinforce the importance of smart decisions in and around prom weekend. Distracted and impaired driving is a concern across age levels, and organizers feel that this activity will drive home the importance of making good decisions, staying away from drinking or impaired driving, and never texting while behind the wheel. Each of these poor decisions can have dire consequences and Operation 10-46 will communicate this in a very real manner.
Please be prepared to hear sirens in and around Adair County Schools campus on the morning of May 2nd. There will be a variety of emergency personnel involved in and around the automobile accident scene. Medical evacuation helicopters will also be landing on campus as well.
The morning’s events will conclude with a Ghost Out program at ACHS. Once again, this very real and emotional program aims to show the importance of making good decisions and how wrong decisions can impact lives forever. Ann Young, which has been pivotal in planning this year’s Operation 10-46, says, “With summer activities and prom approaching, Adair County High School hopes to promote safe driving and educate students on the hazards of impaired driving. Operation 10-46 and the Ghost Out program educates students on the dangers of driving and the impact that car accidents can have on their lives.”
Adair County High School Prom is scheduled for Saturday, May 4th.
