HC DrugFree's first Teen Advisory Council (TAC) meeting for this school year will be held on Monday, September 27 from 5:30 to 7:00 on Zoom.  Rebecca Eng, former HCPSS School Psychologist, will be discussing the dangers of alcohol use, including alcohol poisoning/overdosing and mixing alcohol with prescription medications.
