This indoor lock-in event was designed to keep graduates safe on the night of their high school graduation, a night that has become known as fraught with tragedy. This program began in 1995 and the tradition has continued for the class of 2024. There were 65 adult volunteers who helped with preparation prior to the event and served through the night as well. There were casino type games, dancing, Minute-to-Win-It and several sports available, and seniors were awarded "Bulldog" cash from the games that they were able to exchange for tickets toward prize raffles throughout the night. The prizes were donated by local merchants. Seniors staying until the morning were awarded a cash prize of approximately $150 each as an incentive to stay at the event and stay safe.
