Every 15 Minutes
On March 30th and 31st, Servite High School hosted the Every 15 Minutes program on its Anaheim Campus. Students from Rosary Academy, Servite’s sister school, were also in attendance for this impactful educational program.
Every 15 Minutes is a two-day awareness event aimed mainly at high school juniors and seniors. Its purpose is to give students a realistic look at how drinking and driving can affect not only the people involved, but also their families, friends, and entire school community. The title comes from a statistic that reported a person in the United States is killed in an alcohol-related crash every 15 minutes.
On March 30th, beginning at 8:30 a.m., the first student was called out of class, with another student removed every 15 minutes to symbolize a life lost and reinforce the message of the program. Later that day, students witnessed a staged crash scene brought to life with the help of police officers, firefighters, and emergency responders. On the second day, the school community comes together in the theater to hear from a mother who lost her son to drunk driving, they watched the E15M video, and attended a mock funeral for the deceased. Together, these events form the heart of the program, leaving students with a lasting understanding of the tragic impact impaired driving can have on families and communities.
The main goal is to encourage students to think about the real consequences of their decisions and to challenge the mindset that a tragedy like this could never happen to them.
This program is made possible through the extraordinary support of our community sponsors. We are especially grateful to Anaheim Fire, Anaheim Police Department, California Highway Patrol, Hilgenfeld Mortuary, UCI Health, and Kathleen Uriostegui, whose contributions help make this program so meaningful for our students.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the Roth & Uriostegui families for allowing us to share their testimonial with our students. In honoring their sons’ memories, their voices bring truth, compassion, and lasting impact to this program.
Finally, we are deeply grateful to our students, whose courage and vulnerability bring this story to life in such a powerful way. We also thank our in-kind sponsors, corporate sponsors, benefactors, Servite and Rosary staff, and all who contributed their time and talents to make this event possible.
