Ben Grimstead spent four years swimming competitively in high school and eventually became his team’s captain. He’s going to North Carolina State University after graduation, with a little help from the National Merit Scholarship he earned. He feels ready to succeed in the real world because of his teachers at Mount Tabor High School, who he says gave him plenty of chances to think critically and solve problems.
“It’s really helped when teachers have led me to help myself and taught me to deal with problems on my own,” Grimstead said. “When a teacher gives you a trial run and asks you what kind of solutions you can put forward, that really helps me.”

Join us for a hands-on engagement session that focuses on drug awareness and safety.
What is Hidden in Plain Sight?
Hidden in Plain Sight is an interactive and eye-opening experience designed to educate parents and guardians about current trends in youth substance use and risky behaviors. The event features a simulated teenager’s bedroom where everyday items may indicate substance use or concealment. Families will have the opportunity to walk through the space and learn how seemingly ordinary objects can carry hidden meaning.
This event serves as a powerful prevention tool, helping families become more informed, aware, and equipped to engage in meaningful conversations with their children.
