The Coalition is pleased to announce the 2026-2027 Drug-Free All Stars for Angelina County. The Drug-Free All Stars are a group of high school seniors from Angelina County who are selected to serve as role models for their community by living an alcohol, drug, and tobacco-free lifestyle. Drug-Free All Stars are active through the school year volunteering in the community to promote a healthy and drug-free lifestyle. Recently, the Drug-Free All Stars attended training on the topics they will use throughout the year during their volunteer opportunities; including Youth Advocacy and the Media, Addiction & the Brain, Industry Impact, and 8 Things to Know about Substance Use. Thank you to Kellen Kruk, previous Drug-Free All Star and youth substance use prevention advocate, and Shelly Doss, Alcohol and Drug Awareness Council, for the training on youth advocacy and addiction. The All Stars this year consist of 61 students from six Angelina County high schools, including: Central, Diboll, Hudson, Huntington, Lufkin, and Pineywoods Community Academy. The Drug-Free All Star program is funded by a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation to reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes in Texas.
Since 1988, The Coalition has focused on eliminating the use of harmful substances by affecting public policy, laws, attitudes, and behaviors, to foster healthy life-long choices for the local community.
