A team of students from Lake Highlands High School won $10,000 in the Create Real Impact Contest, facilitated by Impact Teen Drivers.

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. A group of Lake Highland students, under the guidance of teacher Jennifer Hague, created a compelling campaign, activated their school and local community to help stop preventable crashes due to reckless and distracted driving, and made a positive difference, according to Impact Teen Drivers, a nonprofit that educates and teens on the dangers of reckless and distracted driving.

Congratulations to Ms. Hague, the Lake Highlands Create Real Impact team, and Lake Highlands High School!
