All Waitsburg students in 6th-12th grade will participate in the annual Healthy Youth Survey (HYS) on Tuesday, October 17th. Waitsburg High School students in grades 9-12 will participate in the HYS on October 17th during 1st period, and Preston Hall Middle School students in grades 6-8 will participate in the HYS the same day during 7th period. The survey asks questions about risks for injury, health outcomes, and alcohol and drug use. Schools, and state and local agencies use survey results to support our youth and reduce their risks. The Healthy Youth Survey is voluntary and anonymous and provides important information to guide policy and programs that serve our youth. Students have been taking the Healthy Youth Survey since 2002. The number of students has grown from only a few thousand students to over 230,000 a year!
