As Distracted Driving Awareness Month continues and prom season approaches, we’re proud to highlight the incredible work of local students in raising awareness about safe driving.

This year, Safe Kids Stark County and Stark County Safe Communities hosted a Distracted Driving PSA Contest for video production programs across Stark County. Students from both GlenOak High School and Hoover High School submitted powerful and creative videos showcasing the real impact of distracted driving.

We’re excited to announce that GlenOak High School has been named this year’s winner, with Hoover High School earning second place!

A special thank you to:

Drayden (Director) and Brandon from Mr. Patron’s Glenoak class
Hannah, Ben, Trent, Rook, and Carter from Hoover’s program

Your dedication and creativity help spread an important message. With distracted driving contributing to thousands of crashes and fatalities, especially among teens, efforts like these truly make a difference.

We appreciate all of the students and educators who participated and helped promote safer roads in our community!

Our Vikings are using their creative talents to save lives. 🎬 In partnership with Safe Kids Stark County and the Stark County Sheriff's Office, these students produced a gripping Public Service Announcement on the dangers of distracted driving and were awarded $250 for the Video Production program!

The Team: Hannah Bender, Ben Borell, Trent Shover, Rook Norasaeng, & Carter Calhoun.

Their work reminds us that distracted driving has irreversible consequences. Thank you to Logan Valentine with the Stark County Health Department for coming to congratulate our Vikings and deliver their prize!
