Support Services News

Support Services - April 2026

As SUSD enters prom season, we also recognize Alcohol Awareness Week, a timely opportunity to encourage informed, responsible decision-making among our students. Prom is an important milestone, and it should be celebrated with joy, safety, and lasting positive memories.

In support of this effort, the City of Scottsdale Youth and Family Services and the Scottsdale Youth Substance Abuse Coalition are partnering with our high schools to promote awareness and prevention. Students can expect engaging presentations, interactive lunchtime activities, school-wide assemblies, and opportunities to participate in contests that encourage healthy, informed choices.
