The Hudson High School Student Assistance Team consists of staff and support staff who received basic alcohol and other drug prevention and intervention training. The team meets weekly to manage the program and to discuss student issues. All members are available for students who have concerns about another student, a friend, a family member or themselves.
HUDDLE, which stands for Helping Us Develop Dedication, Leadership and Enthusiasm is a mentoring program in which high school students educate younger students about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
