INGLESIDE, Texas — Students at Ingleside High School won first place regionally in a public service announcement competition.
It was for the TxDot Project Celebration Competition. Students will also take home $2,000 for the senior class Project Graduation, which is a chemical free party put on by the school.
It encourages seniors to not drink or use drugs after graduation, and to help safely celebrate their achievements.
Ingleside High School senior Steven Thompson said that making sure students understand the dangers of drunk driving is essential.
"It's very important, drinking and driving, it's very dangerous especially in teens," Thompson said. "If it can save one life, that's good."
