Buffalo High School played host to Freshman Impact for the third year in a row with nearly 200 first-year high school students participating in the powerful one-day program that focuses on the negative effect of poor choices and risky behaviors.

Freshman Impact is a powerful one-day prevention program that demonstrates the consequences of poor choices and the lasting effects on a student’s person, families, friends, and even communities.
Freshman Impact is possible only through the financial and volunteering generosity of the community.
