Lenape Regional High School District Honored as 2017 GDL Champion for Heads Up, Eyes Forward!

LRHSD’s Heads Up, Eyes Forward! is led by students who generate awareness of the campaign through a number of approaches, including PSAs, song parodies and “drive safe” school parking lot signs, school and community safe driving days, social media, and promotional videos for the New Jersey Drives App developed by the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey.

The Lenape Regional High School District (LRHSD) was named a 2017 GDL Champion by the New Jersey Teen Safe Driving Coalition at a ceremony held May 31. LRHSD was among a small group of honorees identified by New Jersey’s teen safe driving advocates for efforts to promote the proven principles of Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL). The school district was honored for its Heads Up, Eyes Forward! campaign, which spreads messages about safe driving and the dangers of driving while distracted.

Under the direction of John Donaldson, faculty advisor to the LRHSD’s student-led New Jersey Brain Injury Alliance Champion Schools Teen Safe Driving Program, the Heads Up, Eyes Forward! team continuously develops innovative ways to spread its message in New Jersey and beyond. The students’ messaging has even appeared on signs along the I-95 corridor from Boston to Washington, D.C.

“Our students are the driving force behind the success of Heads Up, Eyes Forward!” said Donaldson. “They deserve this recognition for their creativity; their effective collaboration with not only one another, but also with teachers, parents and the public; and for their unwavering dedication to this cause.”
